ALSACONF(8)

NAME
alsaconf - configuration tool for the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture

SYNOPSIS
alsaconf [options]

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the alsaconf command.

Alsaconf is a simple shell script which tries to detect the sound cards on your system and writes a suitable configuration file for ALSA. It will try to guess what GNU/Linux distribution you're running, and will act accordingly to the standards of that distribution, if specific support is available.

Alsaconf will write a module-init-tools (or modutils) snippet which can be then used by module-init-tools (or modutils) to load the correct parameters for your sound card.

OPTIONS
Alsaconf accepts the following options:

-l, --legacy
    Check only for legacy non-isapnp cards.

-m, --modinfo
    Read module descriptions instead of reading a card database.

-s, --sound-wav-file
    Use the specified wav file as a test sound.

-u, --uid uid
    Set the uid for the ALSA devices (default = 0). This option is obsolete in the recent ALSA version.

-g, --gid gid
    Set the gid for the ALSA devices (default = 0). This option is obsolete in the recent ALSA version.

-d, --devmode mode
    Set the device mode for the ALSA devices (default = 0666). This option is obsolete in the recent ALSA version.

-r, --strict
    Set strict device mode (equiv. with -g 17 -d 0660). This option is obsolete in the recent ALSA version.

-L, --log file
    Logging on the given file. The log is appended to the file. This option is for debugging purpose only.

-p, --probe card-name
    Probe a legacy non-isapnp card and print module options.

-P, --listprobe
    List the supported legacy card modules.

-c, --config file
    Specify the module config file. As default, alsaconf probes the available config file automatically.

-h, --help
    Displays this help text.
