NAME

speaker−test − command-line speaker test tone generator for ALSA

SYNOPSIS

speaker−test [−options]

DESCRIPTION

speaker−test generates a tone that can be used to test the speakers of a computer.

OPTIONS

−c | −−channels NUM

NUM channels in stream

−D | −−device NAME

PCM device name NAME

−f | −−frequency FREQ

sine wave of FREQ Hz

−−help

Print usage help

−b | −−buffer TIME

Use buffer size of TIME microseconds. When 0 is given, use the maximal buffer size. The default value is 0.

−p | −−period TIME

Use period size of TIME microseconds. When 0 is given, the periods given by −P option is used. The default value is 0.

−P | −−nperiods PERIODS

Use number of periods. The default value is 4.

−r | −−rate RATE

stream of RATE Hz

−t | −−test pink|sine|wav

−t pink means use pink noise (default).

Pink noise is perceptually uniform noise -- that is, it sounds like every frequency at once. If you can hear any tone it may indicate resonances in your speaker system or room.

−t sine means to use sine wave.

−t wav means to play WAV files, either pre-defined files or given via −w option.

You can pass the number from 1 to 3 as a backward compatibility.

−l | −−nloops COUNT

Specifies the number of loops. Zero means to run infinitely.

When −s option below with a valid channel is given, speaker−test will perform always a single-shot without looping.

−s | −−speaker CHANNEL

Do a single-shot speaker test for the given channel. The channel number starts from 1. The channel number corresponds to left, right, rear-left, rear-right, center, LFE, side-left, side-right, and so on.

For example, when 1 is passed, it tests the left channel only once rather than both channels with looping.

−w | −−wavfile

Use the given WAV file for the playback instead of pre-defined WAV files.

−W | −−wavdir

Specify the directory containing WAV files for playback. The default path is /usr/share/sounds/alsa.

USAGE EXAMPLES

Produce stereo sound from one stereo jack:

  speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2

Produce 4 speaker sound from two stereo jacks:

  speaker-test -Dplug:surround40 -c4

Produce 5.1 speaker sound from three stereo jacks:

  speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6

To send a nice low 75Hz tone to the Woofer and then exit without touching any other speakers:

  speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -s1 -f75

AUTHOR

The speaker-test program was written by James Courtier-Dutton. Pink noise support was added by Nathan Hurst. Further extensions by Takashi Iwai.
