Looks like from the screenshot that you are using the default (card 0) which is your headphones, when what you want is card 2, should be as simple as changing the card number in your ~/.asoundrc to 2 instead of 0. (Assuming you have that file, if not you may need to make one.)

I noticed it mentions "Broadcom Mixer", that I am unfamiliar with. If it's a genuine mixer, then it likely has control of alsa starting with boot-up, in which case the alsamixer will likely only be good for adjusting main volume. But perhaps that's just something local to the headphones.

Shucks...thanks my friend for the kind words! And right back at you, it wouldn't be the same around here without you.

So I tested the script, installed it into another partition running Vuu-do openbox-mini and shutdown/rebooted multiple times and it's working perfectly so far. Seems like a nice workaround that preserves Devuan's unique functionality in this area.

vuudo rm-machineid: dbus session-bus cleanup: removing session-bus files
vuudo rm-machineid: Cleaned /root/.dbus/session-bus
vuudo rm-machineid: Cleaned /home/vuudo/.dbus/session-bus

At the link I posted earlier about machine-id, the author posted an init script for sysvinit that would manually rm both /etc/machine-id and var/lib/dbus/machine-id at shutdown/reboot, thus effectively doing what Devuan is doing natively and that's changing the id on every boot.

Our issue is different, but was wondering if the same method could be used to clear the user's and root's .dbus/session-bus files when you shut down? I've never messed with making init scripts, nor modding them, so I don't know squat, but I took the author's script and made what seemed like proper changes to it. If someone more knowledgeable could take a look at it and see if it's useful that would be great, and also wondering if there's a better method?

EDIT: That was ugly, working on something better right now...moar man pages and docs to read, lol!.

Yeah that should change things Altoid, from the mountain of dbus documentation i've been reading today the presence of /etc/machine-id will stop uuidgen from generating new id's. So that seems like the issue in your case. The /etc/machine-id file is some systemd hooha, may have been a leftover from the very early days.

@Altoid on the box with the machine-id that never changes, do you have an /etc/machine-id file?

^^Yeah the inconsistency is befuddling, need to find the common denominator.

In general I think swapping machine id's every boot is a good thing, but need to find out why old ones aren't getting deleted, and why for some folks it's just not happening.

Also from that article -

9-18-2025 - New versions of Vuu-do Openbox 5.03 max and mini uploaded.

Some 20 package updates in the max, 7 for the mini. Added exinfo and metaview extensions to the mini to bring it more inline with the max, so now you can view exif data for image files, and metadata from music and video files in the mini as well as the max. Fixed a longtime bug in Synaptic relating to the status icons, got rid of a couple old scripts and some other detritus.

Added additional support for jpeg-xl in the form of it's command-line utilities package (v. 0.11.1). Updated some extensions to reflect new mimetypes supported. Added batch processing to the re-sizer and rotator scripts, previously you could select multiple images and they would do them, but used separate dialogs for each instance so you had to enter the size or rotation for each individual image. That's fixed now, so you can select as many as you like and it will apply whatever setting you ask for in a single dialog window. The caveat is the files you select need to be the same filetype to do a batch, it won't do a mixed batch of jpg's and png's etc.

Also fixed an issue where the Refracta tools weren't showing in VAI. Added the Gdebi package installer for local .debs, and swapped in Yahtzee for xsol in the max.

Lots of little cleanups and tweaks in this version. The performance tweaks from a week ago are really doing better than i'd hoped, i'm seeing less ram usage at idle and less cpu as well. The mini is especially light now.

Apologies for the necro-post, but wanted to thank @boughtonp for this little nugget. That little warning had been a small thorn in my eye every time I opened .xsession-errors, but I have had a 1000 other fish to fry so never gotten around to it, but stumbled upon this post whilst searching for some dbus info. Thanks!

You might be better off trying an appimage, a quick search shows them available in kicad versions 6,7,8, and 9.

You could also just go the .desktop route, use apt-get, and run it in terminal, that at least would save some typing, so not a gui method, but a quick timesaver. In my workflow lately I do a lot of local installs.

Well I haven't taken a sip yet today from the waterfall of secret esoteric knowledge, so my dementia lacks the mystic sauce of enlightenment to keep it at bay, perhaps you need to wall-of-text me some more of that deep deep lore that ChatGPT has bestowed upon thee.
