This is one of the advanced features of kmix. If you have a standard layout you like, you can save this layout. A layout stores for each channel four configuration options.
If you want to save the current layout, just press Control-1
to save the layout as profile 1.
Likewise you can save profile 2, 3 and 4 by pressing
Control-2, Control-3 or Control-4.
You can restore a profile by pressing 1, 2, 3 and
4 respectively. If you want to start kmix with a certain
layout directly set up, you must pass a command line argument.
You can pass some parameters to kmix, to have influence on kmix's initial settings.
-r will restore the default set (set 1), that you saved
by pressingControl-1.-R n will restore the given set.-devnum n, kmix will use the n'th mixer
device on your system.
KMix is prepared for multiple sound cards. If called via the KDE Panel,
the default mixer is used. For the Open Sound System, this is
/dev/mixer. For other operating systems or sound drivers,
this may vary.
If you want KMix to use a specific soundcard (primary, secondary, ...),
you must tell this KMix on startup.
You can start the mixer with a device number, using the -devnum n
parameter. -devnum 0 means the default
device, 1 your primary mixer, 2 your secondary mixer and so on. If
you use this regulary, you should create a new program kdelnk (using kfm
or the menu editor). This should just call kmix with the appropriate
device number as parameter, for example "kmix -devnum 2".
