nmixer - An interactive text-based sound-mixer control program SYNOPSIS
nmixer [-q] [[-s mixdev=setting] ...] nasmixer [-q] [[-s mixdev=setting] ...] DESCRIPTION
NMixer is an interactive text-based sound-mixer control program that you can use to set the volume of each supported mixer device of your soundcard. It automagically detects all devices that are supported by your sound hardware, and shows a list of scrollbars for each of these devices. You can use the up and down arrow keys (or k and j resp.) to scroll though the list of scrollbars (some do not fit on the screen, but you can reach them by simply scrolling down at the bottom of the screen). The left and right arrow keys (or h and l resp.) change the volume for the currently highlighted device, and (if you're lucky), you can use home/end/PgUp/PgDn on the numerical keyboard to set left and right volume independently. You can also use 0..5 to set the volume to the position indicated by the numbers on top of the screen. If a device can be recorded from, red brackets will be displayed under the device's name. If it's selected as recording source, a red 'X' is displayed as well. You can set a recording device with the space bar. If nmixer is compiled with NAS (Network Audio System) support and it's called as 'nasmixer', it will show the settings for the NAS mixer device. OPTIONS
-d device Setst the mixer device to use (default = /dev/mixer) -s mixdev=setting Sets a specific mixer device to the volume specified by set- ting. Example: bass=100 -q Immediately quit (after the command-line specified settings are set!). This only makes sense if you use command-line options to set volumes. (currently, the interface is drawn while setting the mixer, and removed afterwards, which might be annoying, but it's in the way of being changed :) BUGS
If you find bugs, please report them on the sourceforge project site. AUTHOR

mixerctl(1) User Commands mixerctl(1) NAME
mixerctl - audio mixer control command line application SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/mixerctl [-a | -d dev] [-iv] [-e | -o] DESCRIPTION
Some audio devices support the audio mixer functionality. See mixer(7I) for a complete description of the audio mixer. The mixerctl command is used to control the mode of the audio mixer and to get information about the audio mixer and the audio device. See audio(7I) for details. OPTIONS
The following options are supported. If none are specified, option -i is assumed: -a The command applies to all audio devices. -d dev The dev argument specifies an alternate audio control device for the command to use. -e Enables the audio mixer function if the audio device supports it. If supported, the audio mixer may be enabled at any time. The command silently ignores the enable option if the audio mixer is already enabled. -i Prints the audio device type information for the device and indicates whether the audio device uses the audio mixer. If the device does use the audio mixer, this option displays the audio mixer's mode. -o Turns off the audio mixer function if the audio device supports it. If supported, the audio mixer may be turned off if only one process has the device opened with the O_RDWR flag, or, if two different processes have the device opened, one with the O_RDONLY flag and the other with the O_WRONLY flag. (See open(2).) The command silently ignores the disable option if the audio mixer function is already disabled. -v Verbose mode. Prints the audio_info_t structure for the device, along with the device type information. This option implies the -i option. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
AUDIODEV If the -d and -a options are not specified, the AUDIODEV environment variable is consulted. If set, AUDIODEV will contain the full path name of the user's default audio device. The default audio device will be converted into a control device, and then used. If the AUDIODEV variable is not set, /dev/audioctl is used. FILES
