That was a bit harsh. I do actually like mixerctl(1) for simpler devices, like my uaudio(4) headset; $ mixerctl -f /dev/mixer2 outputs.spkr.mute=off outputs.spkr=121,121 record.mic.mute=off record.mic=255 inputs.mic.mute=on inputs.mic=0 Simple enough. azalia(4) however has over 88 knobs on my system, and I have to do a bit of guesswork to get e.g. recording to work, but I suppose there's no easier way to do this while keeping the features of azalia(4) present and controllable. I know a lot of work has been put into azalia(4) by Jacob and as I initially said, I in no way want to undermine that work. What I wanted was a simpler way of controlling the basic features of the device.
