I am running Fedora Core 4 and I use the machine to record. On various occasions I have updated the software. Sometimes ALSA Mixer remembers the settings from one boot to another - and sometimes it forgets. Currently, it is in a 'forgetting mood' so each time I boot, the settings are the same as last time I BOOTED. I change them, but when I boot again, there they are back at the old settings again. (This is not zero or maximum, but somewhere in between)

I presume that ALSA Mixer uses some file somewhere to record the settings it is going to start with. Where should I look?

I am running Fedora Core 4 and I use the machine to record. On various occasions I have updated the software. Sometimes ALSA Mixer remembers the settings from one boot to another - and sometimes it forgets. Currently, it is in a 'forgetting mood' so each time I boot, the settings are the same as last time I BOOTED. I change them, but when I boot again, there they are back at the old settings again.

Under Debian there is a script in /etc/init.d/alsa-utils that restores the alsamixer settings on startup and saves on shutdown. SuSE has the same in /etc/init.d/alsasound

Likely Fedora has the same thing- only it is broken on your setup. :D

I would report the bug to the Fedora bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/index.cgi

Cheers,
