NAME
smmixer - get/set Linux soundcard packet radio modem driver mixer
SYNOPSIS
smmixer [-i device] [ params ]
DESCRIPTION
smmixer displays and/or sets the input source and input and output levels of a soundcard modem port.
OPTIONS
smmixer accepts the following option:
- -i The device argument specifies the soundcard modem device which
- should be configured or interrogated. It will usually have the following form: sm[0-3].

- values are from 0..43dB.
- i=val sets the level of both inputs to the specified value. Legal val
- ues are from 0..43dB.
- sl=val sets the source of the left input to the specified value. Legal
- values are line, aux1, mic or dac.
- sr=val sets the source of the right input to the specified value. Legal
- values are line, aux1, mic or dac.
- s=val sets the source of both inputs to the specified value. Legal

- values are from -62..18dB.
- i=val sets the level of both inputs to the specified value. Legal val
- ues are from -62..18dB.
- s=val enables the specified value as a source. Legal values are line,
- line.l, line.r, midi, midi.l, midi.r, cd, cd.l, cd.r or mic.
CONSIDERATIONS
It is important that the audio levels of your radio match those of the
soundcard. To help achieve this, use the smdiag utility.
This utility can only be used after the interface is started up, i.e.
after ifconfig sm? up.
The sound driver and the soundcard modem driver are mutually exclusive,
i.e. they cannot both access the same soundcard at the same time. Even
worse, the sound driver reserves the soundcard as soon as it gets
loaded. The souncard modem driver however reserves the card only when
the interface is started, i.e. during ifconfig if up.
9600 baud may not currently work on SoundBlaster cards with DSP revision 4.x, i.e. SB16 and SB32 AWE. This is because they seem to not be
fully backwards compatible.
