<title>Basics</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>&kmix; usage is straightforward. Every mixer control that your
|
|
soundcard provides is represented by a volume slider. Mono controls
|
|
have a single slider, stereo controls can have either one or two
|
|
sliders, depending on your choice. Additionally there is a panning
|
|
slider at the bottom of the &kmix; window. If you have more than one soundcard, a list will be displayed on the top of the window, where you can choose between your soundcards.

|
|
|
<para>The Window can have up to three sections with different soundcard controls:
|
|
<guilabel>Output</guilabel>, <guilabel>Input</guilabel> and <guilabel>Switches</guilabel>.
|
|
Those sections contain volume sliders, switches for enabling/disabling record or playback, and multiple-choice selectors.
|
|
|
|
<simplelist>
|
|
<member><guilabel>Output</guilabel>: This holds the controls that are most likely playback related, like the <guilabel>Master</guilabel> volume control.</member>
|
|
<member><guilabel>Input</guilabel>: This holds all controls that are most likely record related, like <guilabel>Capture</guilabel>.</member>
|
|
<member><guilabel>Switches</guilabel>: This holds all controls, that allows only to switch some functionality ON or OFF (like "Mic Boost (+20dB)"), and multiple-choice controls (like <guilabel>Mic Select</guilabel>: <guilabel>Mic1</guilabel> or <guilabel>Mic2</guilabel>).</member>
|
|
</simplelist>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Besides volumes controls, &kmix; also features LED's. The general coloring rule is:</para>
|
|
<simplelist>
|
|
<member>Green: A LED dealing with playback</member>
|
|
<member>Red: A LED dealing with recording</member>
|
|
<member>Yellow: A LED dealing with special soundcard capabilities</member>
|
|
</simplelist>
|
|
<para>These 3 colors come in two flavours: A lit LED means ON, a non-lit LED means OFF.</para>

<para>The controls in the section <guilabel>Switches</guilabel> consist of a LED and a short label describing the function.

If you are uncertain about the meaning of a control, please ask your soundcard driver supplier (for most current &Linux; distributions this is <ulink url="http://www.alsa-project.org">ALSA</ulink>).

<para>With this slider you can control the volume distribution between left and

right speaker. This slider is an overall regulator, which affects the Master Volume.

The middle position is the default. Dragging

the right vice versa. Of course, these might be swapped if your speakers aren't
