NAME
soundoff - Stop Open Sound System

DESCRIPTION
The soundoff command can be used to stop Open Sound System and to unload the kernel modules related with it.

There are no command line arguments. Only the super user (root) can use this command.

Open Sound System can be loaded by executing the soundon command.

SAVING THE MIXER AND CONTROL PANEL SETTINGS AUTOMATICALLY
By default soundoff will save the current mixer and control panel settings automatically each time soundoff is executed. The saved settings will be restored automatically when soundon is executed next time.

This automatic save feature can be disabled by editing /usr/lib/oss/etc/userdefs and by changing the line containing "autosave_mixer yes" to "autosave_mixer no". After this the mixer settings will only be saved when the savemixer command is executed (by super user).
