How to access alsamixer?

  • Hi!

    I am quite new to Libreelec and switched over from OSMC on an RPi3. I am trying to open the alsamixer. So far I've installed the Multimedia Tools addon, logged in via SSH from a PC but when I try "alsamixer" it just says "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory".

    What am I missing? I've search quite a bit but can't find anything about this neither here or at google :-/

    Thanks!

  • Turns out I had to add "dtparam=audio=on" to the config.txt. Now I can open alsamixer but the settings aren't saved. I guess I have to mount something as rw to apply the settings? Haven't figured it out yet.

    Edit: creating /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and using alsactl store 0 didn't work

    Edit2: Also the audio channel mapping is wrong. "Rear" controls the Sub, "Side" controls Rear/Surround and "Woofer" + "Center" don't seem to do anything.
