Is there a question here?

try to install ossxmix.tcz
set  volume level to max
and backup mixer.save

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi ossmixer.tcz
echo usr/lib/oss/etc/mixer.save >> /opt/.filetool.lstmay also need fix settings
in /usr/lib/oss/conf/oss_???.conf
for your sound card
and also backup it

Code: [Select]

echo usr/lib/oss/conf/oss_???.conf >> /opt/.filetool.lst

[coreplayer2]

mixer.save doesn't appear to be saved automatically,  but 'sudo savemixer   or  sudo savemixer -f (filename)' command's create /usr/lib/oss/etc/mixer.save or creates a file in home/tc with a name of your choosing.

[manit123]

sorry for my late reply.
How can I max the volume using ossxmix ?
Please see attached screenshot to suggest me what I can tweak.

[tinypoodle]

Nothing obvious, besides from the little you can increase on many sliders.
But it would really be much preferable to post the output of "ossmix", rather than a screenie of a GUI mixer...

Uhmm... are you sure any existing hardware volume controls are maxed?

[manit123]

Code: [Select]

Known controls are:
jack.jack1c.mute ON|OFF (currently OFF)
jack.jack1c.pcm11 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 50.9:50.9 dB)
jack.jack1c.pcm12 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 38.9:38.9 dB)
jack.jack1c.pcm3 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 38.9:38.9 dB)
jack.jack1c.pcm2 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 38.9:38.9 dB)
jack.jack1c.jack6 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 38.9:38.9 dB)
jack.jack1c.jack5 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 38.9:38.9 dB)
jack.jack1c.pcm4 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 38.9:38.9 dB)
jack.jack1d.mute ON|OFF (currently OFF)
jack.jack1e.mute ON|OFF (currently OFF)
record.select1.select1 <pcm3|pcm2|jack6|jack5|mix> (currently pcm3)
record.select1 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 38.9:38.9 dB)
record.jack6 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 38.9:38.9 dB)
misc.pcm2 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 50.9:50.9 dB)
misc.mute1 ON|OFF (currently OFF)
misc.pcm3 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 50.9:50.9 dB)
misc.pcm4 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 50.9:50.9 dB)
misc.mute2 ON|OFF (currently OFF)
misc.mute3 ON|OFF (currently OFF)
vmix0-enable ON|OFF (currently ON)
vmix0-rate <decimal value> (currently 48000) (Read-only)
vmix0-channels <Stereo|Multich> (currently Stereo)
vmix0-src <Fast|High|OFF> (currently Fast)
vmix0-outvol <monovol> (currently 25.0 dB)
vmix0-invol <monovol> (currently 25.0 dB)
vmix0.pcm7 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 25.0:25.0 dB)
vmix0.pcm8 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 25.0:25.0 dB)
vmix0.pcm9 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 25.0:25.0 dB)
vmix0.pcm10 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 25.0:25.0 dB)
That was output of ossmix , Is any sound increase possible ? I have turned the knob on my speaker to extreme , already .

it seems that coreplayer2 wrote about the same here

Hi manit123
If you set  vmix0-src  to  High  or  vmix0-enable  to  Off , does that make any difference?

[manit123]

i think , there has been increase in volume.
I read http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,13847.0.html
my ossxmix says high definition audio 0x11060397
I tried

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ ossmix pcm 100:100
Bad mixer control name(752) 'pcm'
tc@box:~$ ossmix vol 100:100
Bad mixer control name(752) 'vol'
tc@box:~$ ossmix jack.int.purple.front 100:100
Bad mixer control name(752) 'jack.int.purple.front'
tc@box:~$ ossmix misc.front 100:100
Bad mixer control name(752) 'misc.front'


[manit123]

i noticed that
jack1c pcm1 slider made all the difference

The command
ossmix jack.jack1c.pcm11 50:50 worked

[coreplayer2]

Why not set 100:100  on boot, then use the application volume controls to lower the volume..?

[tinypoodle]

... or the hardware volume control

[manit123]

I did that too.
I added following to startup

ossmix | grep -i 'leftvol' | grep -v 'known' | grep -v 'selected'| sed -n 's/ .*//p' | xargs -n 1 ./script-to-set-all-audio-controls-to-100.txt
where the script has
ossmix "$1" 100:100

Mark this thread as solved.
