> try 'sysctl hw.snd.vpc_autoreset=0'. > Question, On one of my home machines, I have mixer pcm & vol set to 100% : [olivares@tricorehome /usr/home/olivares]$ mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 100:100 Mixer pcm is currently set to 100:100 Mixer line is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer rec is currently set to 81:81 Mixer igain is currently set to 0:0 Mixer ogain is currently set to 50:50 Mixer monitor is currently set to 75:75 Recording source: mic in /boot/device.hints hint.pcm.0.vol="100" hint.pcm.1.vol="100" hint.pcm.2.vol="100" But when I play with mplayer, the pcm setting is at 48% I then increase the sound level by using the (*) key to increase it and the (/) key to lower it. I had reason to believe that once I would set up the sound using /boot/device.hints, it would be (set in stone) forever, but on starting up the system, mplayer puts it back at 48%. Will the systcl hw.snd.vpc autoreset=0 command cure this illness as well? If it does, do I add it to /boot/device.hints? and it is a done deal! or no deal! :( I have always wanted to ask but was not sure it it was freebsd or mplayer's configuration. Regards, Antonio
