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 modutils snippet which can be then used by 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)

-g, --gid gid
    Set the gid for the ALSA devices (default = 0)

-d, --devmode mode
    Set the device mode for the ALSA devices (default = 0666)

-r, --strict
    Set strict device mode (equiv. with -g 17 -d 0660)

-L, --log
    Logging on /tmp/alsaconf.log

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

-h, --help
    Displays this help text
