NAME
mixer - manipulate mixer settings on a sound card SYNOPSIS
mixer [-r] DESCRIPTION
Mixer, invoked without arguments, turns the screen into a sound mixer. Levels can be changed with the cursor-left and cursor-right keys. Input and output settings can be toggled with the space bar. For every sound source there are two, or one when mono, sliders. The input controls have only effect when recording with the Dac. These settings can also be used to switch the left and right channels or, when both channels are enabled on both Dac channels, record in mono. To exit the mixer use the 'e' key. Mixer settings can be stored and restored with the 's' (store) and 'r' keys. When the store function is used Mixer will write the settings to a file in the user's home directory called .mixer. The restore function reads this file to restore saved settings. OPTIONS
-r restore settings saved in .mixer and exit immediately AUTHOR

NAME
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
