I have a small shuttle system running KnoppMyth great.

It uses AC97 sound drivers through the bttv drivers.

Unfortunately, there is no line in, I have to use the Mic port on the front of the case, so my sound configuration is slightly different than regular Myth users.

Using AlsaMixer, I can swap the capture settings and mute the right channels at start up, and everything works great. The problem is that every time I have to reboot the system, the sound settings revert back to capturing off Line In instead of Mic no matter what I do.

Where are the sound settings being loaded from on start up?

i know your pain.. i have been dealing with this problem for a couple weeks... here is the only fix i know....
ok i got it...at least heres on way. I DONT know if this is the best..but it worked on my system.

Code:
apt-get update


Code:
apt-get install alsa-base


It then says this:
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/alsa-utils_1.0.4-1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Code:
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/alsa-utils_1.0.4-1_i386.deb


It then says this:

If anyone thinks im wrong, or there is a better way... please weigh in!


This does work, however i have (i think) noticed weird sounds problems.. however i might just be imagining it...so let me know how it goes..
