The volume bar and space sizes are recalculated at each time when the view mode is changed. This will fix the problem when the view with fewer volumes is switched to the view with more volumes. |

Using Alsamixer =============== Alsamixer uses an ncurses interface, which may not display properly in an xterm. Start it by typing "alsamixer". Optional flags: alsamixer -h displays the available flags. alsamixer -e starts in "exact" mode. See below... alsamixer -c N selects the soundcard to control, where N is the number of the card, counting from 1. alsamixer -m selects which mixer device to control, counting from 0. This is only applicable to soundcards that have more than one mixer to control. It is the same as the amixer -d flag. Keyboard commands: ================== Left & right arrow keys are used to select the channel (or device, depending on your preferred terminology). You can also use n (next) and p (previous). Up/down arrows control the volume for the currently selected device. Both the left & right signals are controlled. You can also use "+" or "-" to turn volumes up or down. "M" toggles muting for the current channel (both left and right). You can mute left and right independently by using , and . respectively. SPACE toggles recording: the current channel will be added or removed from the sources used for recording. This only works on valid input channels, of course. "L" re-draws the screen. TAB does something interesting: it toggles the mode for volume display. This affects the numbers you see, but not the operation of the level controls. There seem to be two modes: one is percentages from 0-100, the other is called "exact mode" and varies from channel to channel. This shows you the settings as the soundcard understands them. All the channel level ranges are from 0 to a power of 2 minus one (e.g. 0-31 or 0-63). Quick Volume Changes -------------------- PageUp increases volume by 10. PageDown decreases volume by 10. Home sets volume to 100. End sets volume to 0. You can also control left & right levels for the current channel independently, according to this chart: Q | W | E <-- UP ------------- Z | X | C <---DOWN ^ ^ ^ | | +-- Right | | | +--- Both | Left If the current mixer channel is not a stereo channel, then all UP keys will work like W, and all DOWN keys will work like X. Exiting ======= You can exit with ALT + Q, or by hitting ESC. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Alsamixer has been written by Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> and been furtherly improved by Jaroslav Kysela <perex@suse.cz>.
