See below... -alsamixer -c N selects the soundcard to control, where N is the number of -the card, counting from 1. -alsamixer -m selects which mixer device to control, counting from 0. This -is only applicable to soundcards that have more than one mixer to -control. It is the same as the amixer -d flag. - - -Keyboard commands: -================== - -Left & right arrow keys are used to select the channel (or device, -depending on your preferred terminology). You can also use n (next) -and p (previous). - -Up/down arrows control the volume for the currently selected device. -Both the left & right signals are controlled. -You can also use "+" or "-" to turn volumes up or down. - -"M" toggles muting for the current channel (both left and right). You can -mute left and right independently by using , and . respectively. - -SPACE toggles recording: the current channel will be added or removed from -the sources used for recording. This only works on valid input channels, -of course. - -"L" re-draws the screen. - -TAB does something interesting: it toggles the mode for volume display. -This affects the numbers you see, but not the operation of the level -controls. There seem to be two modes: one is percentages from 0-100, the -other is called "exact mode" and varies from channel to channel. This -shows you the settings as the soundcard understands them. All the channel -level ranges are from 0 to a power of 2 minus one (e.g. 0-31 or 0-63). - -Quick Volume Changes --------------------- - -PageUp increases volume by 10. -PageDown decreases volume by 10. -Home sets volume to 100. -End sets volume to 0. - -You can also control left & right levels for the current channel -independently, -according to this chart: - -Q | W | E <-- UP -------------- -Z | X | C <---DOWN - -^ ^ ^ -| | +-- Right -| | -| +--- Both -| -Left - - -If the current mixer channel is not a stereo channel, then all UP keys -will work like W, and all DOWN keys will work like X. - - -Exiting -======= - -You can exit with ALT + Q, or by hitting ESC. - - ------------------------------------------------------------------ - -Alsamixer has been written by Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> and -been furtherly improved by Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz>. -This document was provided by Paul Winkler <zarmzarm@erols.com>. |
