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

CiotBSD

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 😉

I can't find .kshrc, there is a .cshrc file, but shell is ksh.

Another possibility: use usbhidaction

see: https://man.openbsd.org/usbhidaction.1

unicorn I can't find .kshrc

Create-it!

One example:

$ cat .kshrc                                                                                                                                                                                                      
. /etc/ksh.kshrc
. $HOME/.profile

HISTCONTROL=ignoredumps
HISTFILE=$HOME/.mksh_hist
HISTSIZE=10000

export TOP='-s 1'
export PAGER=less

sndioctl output.level=1

I copied your code, but output.level is still 0.494, which part should be edited?

I want to use my HP usb headphone, but no sound. how to config?

Check the support:

dmesg | grep uaudio
usbdevs

If your device is recognized and supported correctly, configure the daemon as:
(with the device connected)

# rcctl set sndiod flags -f rsnd/0 -F rsnd/1
# rcctl restart sndiod

If the device was not plugged before restarting sndiod, relaunch-it!
rcctl reload sndiod

For more explains about sndiod and sndioctl, and particularly about the flags, see their manpages:

OK, excellent!

unicorn both of my usb and wired headphones have no sound now after I run that two rcctl comamnd

Have you understand the role of the flags into the first command?

unicorn

wired headphones back to normal after reboot, but usb headphones still had no sound.

no, I haven't., thanks.
My OpenBSD constantly stuck to death and I finally got a enter your path to xxx, I installed OpenBSD to an external nvme. I replaced it with NetBSD 9.3. I tried FreeBSD but had no luck, but NetBSD works well.

unicorn

How to use it on NetBSD?
dmesg | grep uaudio
usbdevs

unicorn How to use what?

Find available audio devices and which one is currently the default? - $ audiocfg list
Switch the default device? - # audiocfg default <device no.>

Or, do you mean volume control?
I have the actions bound to my laptop Media Keys as follows,

# Volume bindings

- modifiers: []
  key: XF86AudioLowerVolume
  action: !execute mixerctl -w outputs.master-=12

- modifiers: []
  key: XF86AudioRaiseVolume
  action: !execute mixerctl -w outputs.master+=12

This will of course depend on what DE/WM you are using.
Or, use nia@ aiomixer which is included in the base system.

Use sndioon NetBSD? - I don't know.

Or, perhaps you are asking something completely different and I didn't get it.

I want to use my usb headphones on NetBSD.
my audiocfg list
I run doas audiocfg default 0, and I can't hear sound from my USB headphones, my wired headphones also have no sound.

unicorn So, you have no sound regardless which device you pick? Are there any hints in dmesg?

I have no clue what could be wrong 😞

I have two headphones, one can only connect to USB, and another is with a removable wire, the USB headphones have no sound.
