savemixer

savemixer(8)						OSS System Administration Commands					      savemixer(8)

NAME

       savemixer - Open Sound System program for saving and restoring mixer settings.

SYNOPSIS

       savemixer [-LVv] [-f <fname>]

DESCRIPTION

       The savemixer program saves mixer settings. It can also load saved mixer settings back into the mixer.

       Running	this  program  without	any parameters will save the current mixer settings into /var/lib/oss4/mixer.save or $OSSVARDIR/mixer.save
       file.  OSSVARDIR is decided by reading /etc/oss.conf, and defaults to /var/lib/oss4.

AUTOMATIC SAVE

       By default the soundoff command will automatically run savemixer to save the active mixer settings. See the manual page for soundoff(1)	if
       you like to turn this feature off.

OPTIONS

       -f<fname>
	      Use <fname> as setting file.

       -L     Loads saved mixer and device map information from mixer.save.

       -V     Version information.

       -v     Verbose output.

SEE ALSO

       soundoff(1), soundon(1), ossdetect(1), ossdevlinks(1), ossmix(1), ossxmix(1)

FILES

       /etc/oss.conf /usr/sbin/savemixer /var/lib/oss4/mixer.save /var/lib/oss4/dspdevs.map /var/lib/oss4/applist.conf
