I am currently running XBMCbuntu with Gotham v13 on a Dell E6420 via HDMI with a pulse-eight CEC adapter. I love my setup but I have one issue that I cant figure out as I am not a linux user by any means. When my system is running, sometimes the volume is set to -10db and I have to go to the laptop and press the volume up button on the laptop to get the volume to be controlled via the TV as I like it. Is there a script or something I can do to make the volume to 0db(max) on boot so that I dont run into this anymore? I look forward to some linux guru pointing me in the right direction.

Maybe it can be done with alsamixer...

Exit XBMC and enter XBMCbuntu, open a terminal and enter "alsamixer". After this you will get a screen, that will show you some volume settings. Maybe the "master" volume is not complete at highest position. Change it and exit alsamixer. Then enter "aslactl store" (don´t know if "sudo" has to be used for this...just try and if something does not work, try "sudo alsactl store". This will store your alsasettings.

If it doesn´t change after a reboot, you have to edit your rc.local:

Code:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

and put

Code:

alsactl restore

at the second last line. This will restore the last stored setting at every boot.

Mabe it might help.

I knew I would find an answer here. Master volume was set to ~50% on reboot. I set it to 100% and exited. I had to use "sudo alsactl store" to save it. After reboot it maintained my volume setting without having to modify the rc.local file. Thanks you so much.
