Hello, I am new to this group. I have been working on Wndows networks for 10 years now and recently our company started supporting Linux. Having an issue with Sound control, which might be very easy to solve for experts on this group. The desktop has Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, whenever it is rebooted the Speaker volume and the Input Mic volume are reset to 0%. I have tried researching on various forums and found some fixes which say to use alsaconf (this is no longer available in Ubuntu). Tried setting the amixer settings using script with similar commands as below and still not working /usr/bin/amixer -c 0 sset 'Rear Mic',0 100% > /dev/null Can someone please point me in the right direction to solve this issue.
