Here is what works. Note it is not Ubuntu 16.04.
There is a line somewhere in 16.04 that resets alsa to defaults....I think it was in modprobe.d section. Too much information.
This is unmodified alsamixer. From Mint 17.3 (upgraded).
Linux se1-CF-30 3.13.0-37-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 22 21:30:01 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
Cougarpoint does not show up in 16.04.
Hey kode, Can we roll the alsa driver back?
Again fwiw.

I have AlsaMixer v1.1.0. I would be more then happy to roll back if I could!

I would truly love to give a straightforward answer.
I'm into this for four afternoons/evenings +-. Not complaining....
but...............would someone in Ubuntu 16.04 please admit they screwed up. This is NOT how you move your products.
Hey Bill ((Azrial), look at how many people are watching. IOW others are having the same issues.
I probably won't be back until Saturday.
Asta la vista,

I'm not sure you can downgrade alsa. I think it's compiled in-tree.
Anyway as in my last post, you can kludge your way with the command line.
Code: Select all
amixer -c 0 set "Headphone" unmute
Shove that in a login script and call it a day.

What if udev is misbehaving?
From memory: alsa is made to just work with udev finding the devices......(words to that effect) Alsa Wiki.
kode, thanks for the code...accidental rofl

This works. (from terminal)
Code: Select all
amixer -c 0 set "Headphone" unmute 100
Now how to get it to run last as a shell script or? in start-up.. Mint 18 keeps resetting it. I appreciate the guys/gals on internet but they get carried away with too much information.
(As do I when I am pontificating)<<<Nick's word.

I just tried it by adding the command to the /etc/rc.local file and it seems to work on my system.
You'll need to sudo or be root to do this. Open /etc/rc.local with your favorite text editor and type in the full command. You might need to specify the full path to amixer as well:
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/amixer -c 0 set "Headphone" unmute
Just make sure you put it above the "exit 0" line at the bottom if you see that in your rc.local. Also check that the file has execute bits set.

I have it autoloading and the fun part is Youtube immediately resets it. It might not be Youtube itself but something???? (Firefox and Chromium)
I'm leaning toward the pulse audio deletion....quite a lot of hoops but I know how to do most of it.
Nick, I added 100 to the end of the command to crank it up where I could hear it. Someone else's idea.
I'll go back to the rc.local idea first.
Thanks.

Try this then:
Code: Select all
sudo amixer -c0 set "Auto-Mute Mode" Disabled
Or maybe this will work. Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa and comment this line by adding a pound sign:
Code: Select all
#load-module module-switch-on-port-available
reboot or restart pulseaudio

I'm up and running with sound. I'll validate it on another system and THEN write about it.
