Set audio and scaling via environment variables?

[MrCussMustard]

The vnc always launches with audio muted and often enough it loses track of the scaling settings -- is there a way to set scaling and sound volume via environment variable? Soundrecorder service is activated when I set the volume to antything other than default, so must I evable this service?

Essentially, I don't want to have to touch the settings menu when I start browsing. Any advice?

This is expected: browsers don't allow a web page to automatically play sound without user action.

Scaling settings are saved by the browser. So if you use the same browser and don't clear the cache/cookies, the settings should be kept. Could you provide more details about the conditions required to reproduce this problem?

Losing the scaling then likely has to do with my constant clearing of cache and cookies while I set up a nativefied Organizr and is therefore a non-issue. Thank you.

Do you have advice on automating the process to unmute? Am I missing your point, or could i not simply write a script to execute the same command that is issued when I click the muted speaker icon and it sets the volume to 50? Essentially tricking the vnc into thinking I clicked it?

I guess what I am asking is what command the volume bar executes, and if I should assume it is impossible to script that event.

To my knowledge, the problem is that the audio API must first be called from a callback triggered by a user input (e.g. a click). In other words, if you call, when loading the page, the same function that is called when clicking the unmute button, it won't work. This is a protection added by browsers to prevent a page from playing audio automatically, which would be problematic for users!
