Re: Quisk/SoftRock: how to save an alsamixer setting?


 

Many an age since I last used Softrock/UHFSDR?SR63ng ---
worked without any issues.

Initially checked and adjusted with alsamixer if required. Once set no problem.

OK, the "store function does save the levels, which is part of the way there.
It doesn't save the function I need.? I always have to (on alsamixer)
go to my "USB Sound Device"( select that), then use the arrow keys to
"PCM Capt" and change it from "mic" to "mixer", and the exit.
My mixer option is not saved,,, Using the store option.
Any other ideas to try?
Thanks,
Jim
