NAME

       alsactl - advanced controls for ALSA soundcard driver

SYNOPSIS

       alsactl [options] [store|restore] <card # or id>

DESCRIPTION

       alsactl  is  used  to  control advanced settings for the ALSA soundcard
       drivers. It supports multiple soundcards. If  your  card  has  features
       that  you can't seem to control from a mixer application, you have come
       to the right place.

       configuration file.

       restore loads driver state for the selected soundcard from the configu-

       If no soundcards are specified, setup for all cards will  be  saved  or
       loaded.
