There are two benefits +of using alsactl: first, alsactl doesn't force the user to +use any particular mixer app; second, alsactl knows about pretty much +everything alsa is capable of controlling, which the various mixers +(like \fBamixer\fP, \fBalsamixer\fP, or \fBxamixer\fP) might not. + +The configuration file is generated automatically by running +\fBalsactl store\fP. Editing the configuration file by hand is +possible and may be necessary for some of the card-specific features +that aren't known by the mixer apps (e.g. automatic mic gain, digital +outputs, etc.). + +.SH SEE ALSO +\fB +amixer(1), +alsamixer(1), +aplay(1) +\fP + +.SH BUGS +None known. + +.SH AUTHOR +\fBalsactl\fP is by Jaroslav Kysela +This document is by Paul Winkler . + + +.SH QUESTIONS!!! + +There are some things in the asound.conf file that I don't +understand: + +--What's the difference between "hardware mute" and "join mute"? + +--What does "record-by-mute" do? + +--What does "external-input" do? + -- 2.47.1
