I have this line in ~/.config/pulse/default.pa

set-sink-volume 0 50% 65%

This is persistent between boots. It means that, after logging in as user but before startx, alsamixer shows me 50% and 65%. It also means that I have this balance when I play audio on the console outside E.

But once I startx into E, the audio balance is reset to an equal level. It looks like E overwrites the balance on startup.

Is there a fix, like editing an E file somewhere?

right click on mixer -> settings - disable "remember".

Thanks. That wasn't it though, but it gave me an idea.

I rebuilt E from here using meson option -Dmixer=false

pulsemixer, pavucontrol, alsamixer now all preserve the +15% on the right once E is up.

It's a bit of a pity though, I like Emixer :)

you could have just unloaded the mixer module.... no need to recompile....

but mixer remembers the volume by default from last time and restores it... but it doesn't remember per channel. if you disable restore - then e wont be trying to restore volume.

Yes, unloading the module would have been easier indeed ...

Thanks for the tips.
