audiocfg — configure default audio device

SYNOPSIS

audiocfg

list

audiocfg

default index

audiocfg

test index

DESCRIPTION

The audiocfg utility helps maintaining the audio and mixer device symlinks.

Run with “list”, it lists the available audio devices and shows the currently selected default audio device. Called with “test”, it plays a tone of 2 seconds for each channel of the device with the index index. Called with “default”, it sets the default audio device to the one with the index index.

audiocfg needs access to /dev/drvctl and write access to /dev (when used with “default”) to work.
