sndioctl question

unicorn

my system's sound volume is about 0.5, I had to run sndioctl output.level=1 every time after the system completely booted. How to let system output.level=1 every time system booted?

I haven't used OpenBSD in long time but You probably can add the command "sndioctl output.level=1" to your OpenBSD system's startup script so it runs every time the system boots up. The startup script on OpenBSD is typically located in "/etc/rc.local".

Open the file using a text editor with root privileges:

doas vi /etc/rc.local

Add the following line to the end of the file:
sndioctl output.level=1

next time you boot your OpenBSD system, the sound volume will be set to 1.

rc.local or rc.conf.local? I only see rc.conf.local, I add that command to rc.conf.local, but had no luck.

unicorn maybe changing values with rcctl might do trick
Edit : also check /etc/mixerctl.conf

1/ the output.level option is only available by the sndioctl tool, not by mixerctl.
2/ sndioctl is a tool on userland.

@unicorn: Write on your .kshrc your modified option 😉

Another possibility: use usbhidaction
