Hello,
Everytime I boot-up my openSuse 13.1 installation, the speaker volume is set to zero. The only way I can change this is to login as root, and then via yast2 => sound => (select sound card) other -> volume -> change speaker channel from 0 to 100%.
How can I change these initial setting so the the speaker channel will be 100% to start with?
Kind Regards,
Bertwim
The volume control does not work??
Have you installed pavucontrol? That allows setting volume for each app
Also you did not mention the desktop, KDE,Gnome,something else???

Is that the sound card speaker, or the motherboard speaker?

Sorry I wasn’t complete in the description.
The desktop is KDE. With none of the volume controls (pulse audio, kmix) I can make the speakers work.
Only via the yast2 panel i can open the speaker channel.
I don’t know about the speakers (motherboard?) how would I know.
REgards,

Why don’t you have at least kmix?? That is odd. you have no control unless some volume control is installed. I don’t know what you expect??

The motherboard has a small internal speaker, usually called “beeper”.
Typically, the expression “the computer speaker” refers to this one.

Don’t think I can help with your problem, although it seems vaguely
familiar, as there are so many things it could be.
I can verify that sound controls can work differently in root. For
instance, if PulseAudio is enabled, kmix sound control menu is
different in root to that which the ordinary user sees. It stays as the
old kmix rather than showing the PA channels.
Sound control has been sort of working for me under PulseAudio although
it does keep resetting itself to 66% from 100% every time I reboot.
One of the things that has sometimes worked for me in the past is to
disable PulseAudio from YaST. Another thing that has caused a problem
in kmix is that the “master channel” gets reassigned to a
non-functioning channel after a software change. That has meant finding
out the correct one and reassigning it in kmix.

Does adding your regular user to group ‘audio’ make any difference to this inability to save the speaker level setting as a regular user ?

In that case, I would verify:
grep PERMISSION_SECURITY /etc/sysconfig/security
If it is secure or paranoid, means problems.
