To All:

2 problems.

1st problem:

I am having trouble writing a script to setup the
"Sound Mixer" (Xandros version of KMix) settings.
The script uses the command, amixer, e.g.,

#!/bin/sh
amixer set 'Master" 31 capture
...
amixer set 'Mic Select' capture
...
...

All the changes show up in alsamixer, but they do
*NOT* show up in Sound Mixer (KMix). Even worse,
the microphone does not work until I have all the
right settings in Sound Mixer (KMix), not in
alsamixer. I know I am using ALSA because I defined
it in the Control Center. How can I make the script
to work in Sound Mixer (KMix)?

[dcop kmix ... does not work because I need to turn
off IEC958.]


2nd problem:

When I setup my settings in KMix, I noticed I needed
to

a) toggle 'Mic Select' off, and then, on
b) toggle 'Mic Boost (+20db) on, and then, off
c) toggle 'IEC958' on, and then, off

Why do all this extra togglings make the microphone
work? Strange.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you for replying.

i can't seem to find aumixer. It's not a Xandros package. It's
not on the debian site (debian.org). And a search for aumixer
on google yield nothing useful. Do you know the web address
of main's site for aumixer?

Also, what is the difference between amixer and aumixer?
