(This continues on from my ALSA problem https://bbs.deepin.org/post/31030)

I've spent a lot of time looking at a lot of answers and documentation to try and work out how to get a script to run on (or after) start up. These all have some assumed knowledge and I'm assuming that each method I try doesn't work due to my own fault.

Could I please have the steps necessary to run "amixer -c 0 set PCM 150" and "amixer -c 0 cset name='IEC958 Playback Switch' on" after boot? (I say after to make sure my script isn't actually working then reverted by something else). Every boot at the moment I open up a terminal and run it manually.

Many thanks

At the end of ~/.bashrc I have put
  1. #ALSA fix

  2. amixer -c 0 set PCM 150

  3. amixer -c 0 cset name='IEC958 Playback Switch' on

Copy the Code

I also tried a 'sleep 5' above it to make it wait. Still no sound until I type those commands manually. This makes no sense. What could it be?

dude, try rc.local.

My mac's trackpad got some issues with kernel 4.4, i need to manually modprobe the driver, I put the code in rc.local above exit 0 and it worked.

just saying, may be you need root to execute the amixer command, so put sudo in front and try again.

sorry, seems you have tried rc.local, can you execute your commands without root permission?

Yeah I can execute the command without permission, which I couldn't do in other distros. Another strange thing with this problem in other distros was a successful config edit would be reverted due to the way alsa/pulseaudio works (or something). A delay solved it then. Still not sure on what to do now though?

Holy guacamole! The .bashrc suddenly started working! I've tested it powering off, restarting, logging out and more. It works great except 1 time in 6 where it didn't work. A little weird but I'll live it for a while and see how good of a solution it is. Thanks everyone.
