The settings can be written to or read from a resource +file, making \fBamixer\fP ideal for invoking via a boot-time script. +\fBamixer\fP supports multiple soundcards with multiple devices. +.SH INVOKING + +\fBamixer\fR with no arguments will display the current mixer settings +for the default soundcard and device. This is a good way to see a list +of the devices (aka mixer channels) you can control. + +\fImute, unmute, rec,\fP and \fInorec\fP are used to toggle muting and +recording for the device specified. + +The volume can be specified either as a percentage from 0 to 100, or as +a +colon-separated pair of percentages if independent control of Left and +Right +is +needed. A mixer device must be specified. Only one device can be +controlled at a time, except when using the \fI-r\fP flag. + +.SS Options + +.TP +[\fI-c\fP card] [\fI-d\fP device] + +Select the card and device number to control. Cards are numbered from 1 +(the default). Devices are numbered from 0 (the default). Note that +here, +"device" does \fBnot\fP mean "mixer channel", but refers to the +architecture of your soundcard. Many +soundcards will only have device 0. Some more complex cards may have +more +devices. Try using \fI-d 1\fP and if anything useful happens, now you +know +more +than I do. :) + +.TP +\fI-h\fP +Help: show syntax. +.TP +[\fI-p\fP path] \fI-r\fP +Read settings from $HOME/.amixerrc or from optional . +.TP +\fI-w\fP +Write the current mixer settings into $HOME/.amixerrc +.TP +\fI-q\fP +Quiet mode. Do not show results of changes. + +.SS +Example: + +.RS +\fBamixer -c 2 line-in 80:50 unmute rec\fR + +.ID +will set the second soundcard's line-in left volume to 80%, line-in +right volume to 50%, unmute it, and select it as a source for recording. +.SH FILES +.I +$HOME/.amixerrc +is automatically generated from the current mixer settings by invoking +amixer with the +.I +-w +flag. It should probably not be modified by hand. +.SH BUGS +None known. +.SH AUTHOR +\fBamixer\fP is by Andy Lo A Foe . +This document is by Paul Winkler . -- 2.47.1
