It supports multiple soundcards with multiple devices. - -.SH OPTIONS - -.TP -\fI\-h, \-help\fP -Help: show available flags. - -.TP -\fI\-c\fP <card number or identification> -Select the soundcard to use, if you have more than one. Cards are -numbered from 0 (the default). - -.TP -\fI\-D\fP <device identification> -Select the mixer device to control. - -.TP -\fI\-g\fP -Toggle the using of colors. - -.TP -\fI\-s\fP -Minimize the mixer window. - -.TP -\fI\-V\fP <view mode> -Select the starting view mode, either \fIplayback\fP, \fIcapture\fP or \fIall\fP. - -.SH MIXER VIEWS - -The top-left corner of \fBalsamixer\fP is the are to show some basic -information: the card name, the mixer chip name, the current view -mode and the currently selected mixer item. -When the mixer item is switched off, \fI[Off]\fP is displayed in its -name. - -Volume bars are located below the basic information area. You can -scroll left/right when all controls can't be put in a single screen. -The name of each control is shown in the bottom below the volume bars. -The currently selected item is drawn in red and/of emphasized. - -Each mixer control with volume capability shows a box and the current -volume filled in that box. The volume percentages are displayed below -the volume bar for left and right channels. For a mono control, only -one value is shown there. - -When a mixer control is turned off, \fIM\fP (mute) appears below the -volume bar. When it's turned on, \fIO\fP in green appears instead. -You can toggle the switch via \fIm\fP key. - -When a mixer control has capture capability, the capture flag appears -below the volume bar, too. When the capture is turned off, -\-\-\-\-\-\- is shown. \fICAPTUR\fP in red appears when the -capture switch is turned on. In addition, \fIL\fP and \fIR\fP letters -appear in left and right side to indicate that left and the right -channels are turned on. - -Some controls have the enumeration list, and don't show boxes but only -texts which indicate the currently active item. You can change the -item via up/down keys. - -.SH VIEW MODES -\fBalsamixer\fP has three view modes: playback, capture and all. -In the playback view, only the controls related with playback are shown. -Similarly, only the controls for capture (recording) are shown in the capture -view. The all view mode shows all controls. The current view mode is displayed -in the top-left position together with the mixer name, etc. - -The default view mode is the playback view. You can change it via -\fI-V\fP option. - -Each view mode can be switched via keyboard commands, too. -See the next section. - -.SH KEYBOARD COMMANDS -\fBalsamixer\fP recognizes the following keyboard commands to control the soundcard. -Commands shown here in upper case can also be given in lower case. -To be reminded of these keystrokes, hit the \fIh\fP key. - -.SS -General Controls - -The \fILeft\fP and \fIright arrow\fP keys are used to select the -channel (or device, depending on your preferred terminology). You can -also use \fIn\fP ("next") and \fIp\fP ("previous"). - -The \fIUp\fP and \fIDown Arrows\fP control the volume for the -currently selected device. You can also use \fI+\fP or \fI\-\fP for the -same purpose. Both the left and right signals are affected. For -independent left and right control, see below. - -The \fIB\fP or \fI=\fP key adjusts the balance of volumes on left and -right channels. - -\fIM\fP toggles muting for the current channel (both left and right). -If the hardware supports it, you can -mute left and right independently by using \fI,\fP (or \fI<\fP) and -\fI.\fP (or \fI>\fP) respectively. - -\fISPACE\fP enables recording for the current channel. If any other -channels have recording enabled, they will have their recording function -disabled first. This only works for valid input channels, of course. - -\fIL\fP re-draws the screen. - -.SS -View Mode Controls -Function keys are used to change view modes. -You can switch to the help mode and the proc info mode via \fIF1\fP and -\fIF2\fP keys, respectively. -On terminals that can't use function keys like gnome\-terminal, \fI?\fP and -\fI/\fP keys can be used alternatively for help and proc modes. - -\fIF3\fP, \fIF4\fP and \fIF5\fP keys are used to switch to playback, capture -and all view mode, respectively. \fITAB\fP key toggles the -current view mode circularly. - -.SS -Quick Volume Changes - -\fIPageUp\fP increases volume by 5. - -\fIPageDown\fP decreases volume by 5. - -\fIEnd\fP sets volume to 0. - -You can also control left & right levels for the current channel -independently, as follows: - -[\fIQ\fP | \fIW\fP | \fIE\fP ] -- turn UP [ left | both | right ] - -[\fIZ\fP | \fIX\fP | \fIC\fP ] -- turn DOWN [ left | both | right ] - -If the currently selected mixer channel is not a stereo channel, then -all UP keys will work like \fIW\fP, and all DOWN keys will work like \fIX\fP. - -The number keys from \fI0\fP to \fI9\fP are to change the absolute volume -quickly. They correspond to 0 to 90% volume. - -.SS -Exiting - -Quit the program with \fIALT Q\fP, or by hitting \fIESC\fP. -Please note that you might need to hit \fIESC\fP twice on some terminals -since it's regarded as a prefix key. - -.SH SEE ALSO -\fB -amixer(1), -aplay(1), -arecord(1) -\fP - -.SH BUGS -Some terminal emulators (e.g. \fBnxterm\fP) may not -work quite right with ncurses, but that's their own damn -fault. Plain old \fBxterm\fP seems to be fine. - -.SH AUTHOR -.B alsamixer -has been written by Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> and -been further improved by Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz>. - -This manual page was provided by Paul Winkler <zarmzarm@erols.com>. |
