The newest stable KDE (4.8.1) on Gentoo is causing me problems with my microphone levels. It seems that each time I log in KDE sets the 3 faders required for me to get microphone audio (called Front Mic Boost, Capture and Digital in the mixer) back to 0. Each time I log in, if I need to use the microphone, then I have to set these up again.
This problem is new since 4.8.1. With the previous 4.7 version and all version before it I never had this problem. I know it's KDE on login: 1) If I log out of KDE and look in alsamixer in the console then the settings are correct. 2) If the settings are correct when I shutdown then when reboot I can look in alsamixer before starting KDE and the levels are fine. 3) When the levels are fine in the console and I log into KDE the levels are set back to zeros. 4) With the levels set back to zeros in KDE if I then shell to the console the levels are all zeros. (No surprise there) Does anyone know of a fix for this frustrating little problem? Thanks, Mark ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde-linux mailing list.
