-t1 means use pink noise (default).
|
|
|
|
Pink noise is perceptually uniform noise - that is, it sounds like every frequency at once. If you can hear any tone it may indicate resonances in your speaker system or room.
|
|
|
|
-t2 means use sine wave.
|

.SH USAGE EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
Produce stereo sound from one stereo jack:
|
|
.EX
|
|
speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2
|
|
.EE
|
|
|
|
Produce 4 speaker sound from two stereo jacks:
|
|
.EX
|
|
speaker-test -Dplug:surround40 -c4
|
|
.EE
|
|
|
|
Produce 5.1 speaker sound from three stereo jacks:
|
|
.EX
|
|
speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6
|
|
.EE
|
|
|
|
To send a nice low 75Hz tone to the Woofer and then exit without touching any other speakers:
|
|
.EX
|
|
speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -s1 -f75
|
|
.EE
