Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->freebsd-rc Over to maintainer(s). Hi, I noticed today that there is a sysctl variable, hw.snd.default_auto, that performs half the functionality of my script - great! Still no mixer restoral though so I think it might be worth considering my script minus the sysctl line. Has anyone taken a look at this? Regards, Aragon Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-rc->freebsd-usb I definitely think that rc is the wrong place for this. It's a good idea, but it needs integrating into devd; I don't see that is will ever need executing on boot. Hello, In my opinion this kind of behavior should be handle by the user, using hand made devd entry, unless there is a benefit for most of users. For example I use a guitar effects processor which is seen as uaudio(4) device. When I plug in, I really don't want it to auto-magically change the default sound unit (I use it on input). (my 2 cents) Regards. For bugs matching the following criteria: Status: In Progress Changed: (is less than) 2014-06-01 Reset to default assignee and clear in-progress tags.

On my FreeBSD workstations I frequently use a USB sound device (headphone amplifier). I typically plug it in and out only when I need it, and expect (or hope!) for my system to use it when it's plugged in, but use the onboard sound when it is unplugged. On FreeBSD 7 I used to set hw.snd.default_unit to 1 (from 0) after plugging the device in and then set the mixer levels to how I want them. I've subsequently automated this ala devd and a shell script to do precisely the same thing, except the shell script also calls /etc/rc.d/mixer to restore the saved mixer settings in /var/db. I would like to PR my work in the hope of someone committing it as I think it might be useful to others. I've included a devd.conf addition and an rc script for inclusion to /etc/rc.d. The rc script only works if pcm_defaulthot is set to YES in /etc/rc.conf, and I would say it should be set to NO by default. Fix: devd.conf entry: attach 100 { device-name "pcm[0-9]+"; action "/etc/rc.d/pcm start $device-name"; }; Patch attached with submission follows:
