Can't get all audio controls from amixer in .xinitrc

#1 Post by Lassar »

Using Xenialpup64 CE 7.0.8.5

I have been bringing up kodi in .xinitrc

Kodi Audio Mixer Addon is not showing all the audio mixer controls.

I put "amixer -d controls>/root/testsound.txt" before calling kodi to test the sound mixer controls.

Testsound.txt results:

Code: Select all

numid=1,iface=CARD,name='HDMI/DP,pcm=3 Jack'
numid=2,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Con Mask'
numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Pro Mask'
numid=4,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Default'
numid=5,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Switch'
numid=6,iface=PCM,name='ELD',device=3
numid=7,iface=PCM,name='Playback Channel Map',device=3
 
It's not showing all my audio cards like hdmi & analog.

It definitely not showing all of my audio mixer controls.

After kodi exits, the desktop comes up, then amixer works perfectly.


Here is my .xinitrc script:

Why would amixer not work, before calling up kodi in .xinitrc?

But when the desktop comes up, amixer works perfectly.

What can I do to fix it?
