Wrong audio output at boot

[Charkel]

When I boot my computer the output is always "Built-In Audio" regarding of what output I used before rebooting. I am using a USB connected headset and I always have to switch it manually after boot.
THis really is a 'first world problem' but I would really love it if it would remember my last settings or always start on USB audio.

Could OP's problem be a pulseaudio issue?

I run an audio script at login that sets everything to "normal" - mostly so that if I've left it muted or turned way up for a quiet video or whatever, it'll be in some workable, non-blasting state.

The script mostly looks like:

Code: Select all

amixer set 'Master',0        25%  unmute
amixer set 'Headphone',0    100%  unmute
...

Here's how to change the output device with "amixer":

Disclaimer: I don't use pulseaudio, so "amixer" stuff not tested with it.
