According to "man amixer":
INVOKING
amixer with no arguments will display the current mixer settings
for the
default soundcard and device. This is a good way to see a list of
the sim-
ple mixer controls you can use.
Yet, when I issue:
camille ~ # amixer
amixer: Mixer default load error: Invalid argument
What argument(s) does it want? The man page doesn't even list an
example of the syntax.
