Following Beginner's Guide, but one command is "not found" - alsact1

Hello

I'm following the Beginner's guide and doing everything exactly as it says. However, when i get to the Sound Card setup instructions (using ALSA) one of the commands it is telling me to use returns the error "-bash: alsact1: command not found"

I have done everything exactly as per the directions. According to the instructions, this command saves the mixer settings so that on boot-up, the volume levels are as they were previously.

I wasn't able to create the file that "alsact1" is supposed to create, but upon boot-up, the sound levels appear to be as they were last time. so everything works just fine.

Should I just forget about the "alsact1" command and move on? Anyone else have this issue? Is there a fix? or is it a typo in the instructions?

Thanks in advance!

alsactl, L for London, not 1.

The last letter is an L, not a 1

ie ALSACTL rather than ALSACT1
