	}		}

			====Software volume control====
			If your card doesn't have hardware volume control (e. g. Asus Xonar XD/XDG), you might want to create software Master control. Edit .asoundrc as follows.

			pcm.softvol {
			type softvol
			slave {
			pcm "dmix"
			}
			control {
			name "Master"
			card 0
			}
			}

			pcm.!default {
			type plug
			slave.pcm "softvol"
			}

			Restart alsa, then open a music player, play a file and close the player. Then check alsamixer, as you should have a Master volume control. Note that this control doesn't have a mute option.

	This file allows you to have more advanced control over your card/device. For most setups the default, system-wide configuration is sufficient. You may change this file only for special setup.
