[Level 3] Control Audio Device.

My laptop will always beep on while boot,
and I cannot use the command "xset -b" to turn it off.
On community friend(evereasy) told me that I can use the command "audioctl" to control it.
Then I wrote a sample script for it.

#!/usr/bin/bash

showUsage() {
  cat <
<EOF
Usage:
  $0 device [display]
  $0 device control value
Ex.
  $0 $sSampleDevice
  $0 $sSampleDevice beep 0
Device:
`listDevice | sed -e 's/^/  /'`
Control($sSampleDevice):
`showControl $sSampleDevice | awk '{print($2)}' | tail +1 | sed -e 's/^/  /'`
EOF
}

listDevice() {
  #echo "audioctl list-devices ..."
  audioctl list-devices
}

showDevice() {
  #echo "audioctl show-devices ..."
  sDevice=$1
  audioctl show-device -v -d $sDevice
}

showControl() {
  #echo "audioctl show-control ..."
  sDevice=$1
  audioctl show-control -v -d $sDevice
}

alias audioctl='/usr/bin/audioctl'

sSampleDevice=`listDevice | head -1`
sDevice=$1
sControl=$2
nValue=$3

if [ $# -lt 1 ]
then
  showUsage
  exit 1
elif [ $# -eq 1 ]
then
  echo "Show device..."
  showDevice $1
  echo ""
  echo "Show device control..."
  showControl $1
elif [ $# -eq 3 ]
then
  audioctl set-control -v -d $sDevice $sControl $nValue
else
  showUsage
  exit 1
fi



Wish this helps.
