.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
1997-10-19 09:09:03 +04:00
.Nm
command displays or sets various audio system mixing variables.
If a list of variables is present on the command line, then
1997-10-19 09:09:03 +04:00
.Nm
prints the current value of those variables for the specified device.
If the
.Fl a
flag is specified, all variables for the device are printed.
If the
.Fl w
flag is specified
1997-10-19 09:09:03 +04:00
.Nm
attempts to set the specified variables to the given values.
.Pp
The
.Fl f
flag can be used to give an alternative mixer device, the default is
.Pa /dev/mixer0 .
.Pp
The
.Fl n
flag suppresses printing of the variable name.
.Pp
The
.Fl v
flag shows the possible values of enumeration and set valued
variables. Enumerated values are shown in [] and set values
are shown in {}.
1998-05-09 16:37:42 +04:00
.Pp
The exact set of controls that can be manipulated depends on
the mixer. The general format (in both getting and setting a value)
is
.br
.Va "class.name" = value
.br
The
.Va class
can have values like
.Li inputs
or
.Li outputs
indicating that the control affects the input resp. output to the
mixer. The
.Va name
indicates what part of the mixer the control affects.
Continous mixer values, e.g., volume, have numeric values
in the range 0-255. If value can be set for each channel independently
the values are printed separated by commas. Discrete mixer values, e.g.,
the recording source, have symbolic names. Depending on the mixer it
may either be an enumeration or a set.
.Sh EXAMPLES
The commmand
.Dl "mixerctl -a -v"
can produce
.Bd -literal
inputs.mic=0,0 volume
inputs.mic.mute=off [ off on ]
inputs.cd=220,220 volume
inputs.cd.mute=off [ off on ]
inputs.dac=220,220 volume
inputs.dac.mute=off [ off on ]
record.record=220,220 volume
record.record.source=mic [ mic cd dac ]
monitor.monitor=0 volume
