where are docs for using azalia audio?

[Jeremy C. Reed]

My previous two NetBSD system's volume could be turned up with:

        mixerctl -w outputs.master=248,248

But my new system doesn't have that. I am not sure what is used to turn up
the volume.

Playing with ogg123 shows something playing (using default oss). But I
hear no audio.

I have:

NetBSD/amd64 4.0_RC4

My laptop has a volume dial that spins forever.

Any ideas on simply getting this to make sound?

It used to be the same on mine some times ago as well...

mixerctl -w outputs.lineout=whatever for my speakers;
mixerctl -w outputs.headphones=... for, well, the headphones; you
haven't got these in your azalia tree, obviously...

I would try outputs.black??.

I have no audio controls, not even a mute button.

When using the headphones, I have to manually turn off the speakers with
mixerctl -w outputs.lineout=0.

Earlier (maybe 6 months ago) the recognized tree was somewhat similar
to yours with generic names; later my configuration suddenly became
correctly recognizable. Input also works - I've used even earler
versions of Skype on it.

I don't even know what this is. I tried earlier and did nothing:

$ sudo mixerctl -w outputs.black18=50,50
outputs.black18: 0,0 -> 0,0
$ sudo mixerctl -w outputs.black19=50,50
outputs.black19: 0,0 -> 0,0
$ sudo mixerctl -w outputs.black1a=50,50
outputs.black1a: 0,0 -> 0,0

Any ideas on simply getting this to make sound?

I have azalia headphones working by running this comand.

mixerctl -w outputs.black14.eapd=on
mixerctl -w inputs.dac03=100


PS: You have black15, so try below ones_ maybe it helps:

mixerctl -w outputs.black15.eapd=on
mixerctl -w inputs.dac03=100

That worked. Listening to music immediately.

How did you know what that was?

Where should this be documented for NetBSD?


> mixerctl -w inputs.dac03=100

I didn't do that. What is that for?

I still can't figure out which one to use for changing the output volume.


Thanks for the help.

Great to hear it worked...


>How did you know what that was?
>Where should this be documented for NetBSD?

I found it while playing mixerctl settings about 2-3 months ago on my new notebook. I was thinking that azalia driver was not working, but luckily somebody advised me to play mixerctl settings.

I'm not sure where it should be documented. It is not an azalia problem i think...


>mixerctl -w inputs.dac03=100

Play with *inputs.dac* values and you will see that it adjusts volume. I think 250 or 255 is max, while 0 means no sound.

A documentation problem :)

I will update docs if someone tells me what to commit.

"inputs" sounds confusing. I had tried inputs.dac03 earlier, but no
change. But I have success now with inputs.dac02:


$ mixerctl -w inputs.dac03=0,0                        
inputs.dac03: 99,99 -> 0,0
$ mixerctl -w inputs.dac03=200,200
inputs.dac03: 0,0 -> 199,199

No change above.

$ mixerctl -w inputs.dac02=200,200                    
inputs.dac02: 123,123 -> 199,199

That made is loud! Louder than my previous laptop.

$ mixerctl -w inputs.dac02=0,0
inputs.dac02: 199,199 -> 0,0

And 0,0 is very quiet (but still some sound).

$ mixerctl -w inputs.dac02=200,200
inputs.dac02: 0,0 -> 199,199

Back to listening again.

Thanks. I appreciate your time.

If anyone has some suggestions on what and where to document, please let
me know.

What to do about third-party mixer tools which doesn't can handle these
weird mixer settings?

There's also third-party multimedia software like mplayer only able to reduce,
but not to increase sound when dealing with an azalia configuration not
providing outputs.master.
