# NAME

`mixerctl.conf` — audio mixer configuration file

# SYNOPSIS

`mixerctl.conf` |

# DESCRIPTION

The /etc/mixerctl.conf file consists of mixerctl(1) variables to set at boot time. Each line of `mixerctl.conf` has the following format:

`variable=value`

To generate a `mixerctl.conf` from the current mixer settings, execute:

``mixerctl -a > /etc/mixerctl.conf``

Set mixerctl to YES in rc.conf(5) to have the variables set at boot time. Additionally, you can have the settings saved and restored for the devices of your choice by listing them in mixerctl_mixers in rc.conf(5).
