Hi I'm wondering is there another software than mixer in commandline ?

the problem that i have when i'm using mixer, is when i restart my server it's back to default again (the volume level)

In linux there is alsa mixer, but i can't find it in freebsd 8.0

Thx in advance

FreeBSD doesn't have ALSA.

Just add to /etc/rc.conf:
Code: 
mixer_enable="YES"

I'm sorry but I think it's not answering my question, causer mixer already enabled by default freebsd install.

The problem is only when I set volume value


and then restart computer

The volume value is back to 75:75



There is the alternative of alsamixer for freebsd.
The tool named rexima

Have a look at the /etc/rc.d/mixer script. It will save the current settings and restores them when the system boots.

Me too i have this problem. I use rexima to go back volume to 100% and because i never close computer (reboot 1-2 times per month) i have not a very big issue of this.
But if there is a solution to be volume on 100% all the time, even i restart my system, i would like to do it :)
 
If you start X from tty you could always put an entry in ~/.xinitrc;

Code: 
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
setxkbmap gb &
mixer -f /dev/mixer +85:85 &
</snip>

If you need to set mixer in tty as well you could follow SirDice's advice or perhaps add the above mixer line to ~/.login

Beatiful mixer.. It's working great, thx for your suggestion.

@ SirDice

I just find the solution...

I just need to shutdown the computer and it will save my last config, it's not doing it when i reboot my computer... I don't know why but my problem are SOLVED.

Many thx for your help.
 
In case you don't want to install a package...

As root...

1. Set the mixer level from the command line

mixer -f /dev/mixer 100:100

OR

mixer -f /dev/mixer pcm 100:100 #depends on sound card(s)

2. Enable the mixer startup script

cat "mixer_enable=\"YES\"" > /etc/rc.conf

3. Load the script

/etc/rc.d/mixer reload | restart | start #depending if you had it running before or not

Mixer levels are now saved and you can manually override them at a later time using the 1st command.

Packages are nice but sometimes the built in commands are simple enough that installing a package is overkill.
