Changing the sound setting from the command line

  • 772

I frequently switch between two sound settings: One directly connecting an analog headphone to the computer, and another is I connect an audio device to the HDMI audio output on the monitor. I want to switch between them quickly by writing a short script to switch between the two settings. How can I do this?

  1. I think you should be looking at something like this:

    alsactl save CARD # to save the configuration
    alsactl restore CARD # to restore the configuration
