#http://bulletproof.servebeer.com/alsa/files/softvol created by wishie#this .asoundrc will will create a slider called "Software Master" that will control all playback volume#you can name "Software Master" anything that isnt already in use#save this file as ~/.asoundrc (per user setting) or /etc/asound.conf (system-wide setting)#then play something using the 'default' pcm (speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -twav , for example)#then, when you run alsamixer, the slider should then be there.. on the far right.#if its not, try rebooting (sometimes this is needed, and i havent figured out why yet)# change default device: pcm.!default { type softvol slave.pcm "hw:0" control { name "Software Master" card 0 }}
