From the Debian bug report:
|
|
"The speaker-test manpage could be improved somewhat by helping a
|
|
little bit the user determine how to find out the devices he can test.
|
|
|
|
Based on http://alsa.opensrc.org/Speaker-test I have make some changes
|
|
to the manpage (diff attached) to describe a little bit more how
|
|
speaker-test can be used alongside 'aplay'.
|
|
|
|
Please consider the following patch for
|
|
alsa-utils-1.0.23/speaker-test/speaker-test.1"

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBspeaker\-test\fP generates a tone that can be used to test the speakers of a computer.
|
|
|
|
+\fBspeaker-test\fP by default will test the \fIdefault\fP device. If you
|
|
+want to test another sound device you will have first to get a list of
|
|
+all of the sound cards in your system and the devices associated with
|
|
+those cards. Notice that there might be for example, one device for
|
|
+analog sound, one for digital sound and one for HDMI sound.
|
|
+To get the list of available cards and devices you can run \fBaplay -L\fR.
|
|
+
|
|
+.P \fBaplay\fR's output will be similar to this one:
|
|
+
|
|
+.nf
|
|
+$ aplay -L
|
|
+null
|
|
+ Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)

|

|
|
+.P Each of the devices is listed in the beginning of the definition so,
|
|
+in the above example, there are four devices listed: null, default, front
|
|
+and surround40. So, if you want to test the last device you can
|
|
+run \fBspeaker-test -Dsurround40:ICH5 -c 6\fR. The \fB-c\fR option will
|
|
+indicate that the six audio channels in the device have to be tested.
