alsamixer \- soundcard mixer for ALSA soundcard driver, with ncurses interface
6
\fBalsamixer\fP [\fIoptions\fP]
9
\fBalsamixer\fP is an ncurses mixer program for use with the ALSA
10
soundcard drivers. It supports multiple soundcards with multiple devices.

Help: show available flags.
23
\fI-c\fP <card number or idenfication>
24
Select the soundcard to use, if you have more than one. Cards are
25
numbered from 0 (the default).
28
\fI-D\fP <device identification>
29
Select the mixer device to control.
32
\fI-g\fP <toggle color settings>
33
Toggle the using of colors.
36
\fI-s\fP <minimize mixer window>
37
Minimize the mixer window.
40
\fBalsamixer\fP recognizes the following keyboard commands to control the soundcard.
45
The \fILeft\fP and \fIright arrow\fP keys are used to select the
46
channel (or device, depending on your preferred terminology). You can
47
also use \fIn\fP ("next") and \fIp\fP ("previous").
49
The \fIUp\fP and \fIDown Arrows\fP control the volume for the
50
currently selected device. You can also use \fI+\fP or \fI-\fP for the
51
same purpose. Both the left and right signals are affected. For
52
independent left and right control, see below.
54
The \fIB\fP or \fI=\fP key adjusts the balance of volumes on left and
57
\fIM\fP toggles muting for the current channel (both left and right). You can
58
mute left and right independently by using \fI,\fP (or \fI<\fP) and
59
\fI.\fP (or \fI>\fP) respectively.
61
\fISPACE\fP toggles recording: the current channel will be added or
62
removed from the sources used for recording. This only works for valid
63
input channels, of course.
64
You can toggle left and right independently by using \fIInsert\fP (or \fI;\fP)
65
and \fIDelete\fP (or \fI'\fP) respectively.
67
\fIL\fP re-draws the screen.
72
\fIPageUp\fP increases volume by 5.
74
\fIPageDown\fP decreases volume by 5.
76
\fIEnd\fP sets volume to 0.
78
You can also control left & right levels for the current channel
79
independently, as follows:
81
[\fIQ\fP | \fIW\fP | \fIE\fP ] -- turn UP [ left | both | right ]
83
[\fIZ\fP | \fIX\fP | \fIC\fP ] -- turn DOWN [ left | both | right ]
85
If the currently selected mixer channel is not a stereo channel, then
86
all UP keys will work like \fIW\fP, and all DOWN keys will work like \fIX\fP.
91
Quit the program with \fIALT Q\fP, or by hitting \fIESC\fP.
101
Some terminal emulators (e.g. \fBnxterm\fP) may not
102
work quite right with ncurses, but that's their own damn
103
fault. Plain old \fBxterm\fP seems to be fine.
