aumix
aumix [options]
Audio mixer tool. Run without any options or arguments for an
ncurses-based interactive mode.
Options
The first set of options sets the volume level of a channel to a
percentage of the maximum. Each channel is represented by a
single letter or number: v for overall volume, b for bass, t for treble,
s for synthesizer, w for PCM channels, c for CD, m for micro-
phone, i for line in, o for line out, l for the main line, x for imix,
and 1, 2,or3 for lines 1, 2, and 3. Passing q as an argument to any
of those flags displays their current status. Passing + or will
increase or decrease the channel volume by one, and +n or n will
adjust them by n.
For example, aumix -c q -l 10 will display the CD value and set the
main line to 10%.
Additional options:
-C filename
Use the color-scheme file specified to determine the appear-
ance of the ncurses interface.
-d devicename
Specify the mixer device to be used. The default is /dev/mixer.
-f filename
Specify a settings file.
-h Display a help message and quit.
-I Interactive mode: provides an ncurses-based UI similar to
alsamixer.
-L Load settings from the default .aumixrc file.
-q Query all devices, and display the results.
-S Save settings to the default .aumixrc file.
