.Sh NAME
.Nm audiocfg
.Nd configure default audio device
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Cm list
.Op Ar index
.Nm
.Cm default
.Ar index
.Nm
.Cm set
.Ar index
.Ar direction
.Ar encoding
.Ar precision
.Ar channels
.Ar sample_rate
.Nm
.Cm test
.Ar index
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility helps maintaining the audio and mixer device symlinks.
.Pp
Run with
.Dq Cm list ,
it lists the available audio devices and shows the currently selected
default audio device.
.Pp
Run with
.Dq Cm set ,
it sets the hardware format.
The
.Ar direction
is represented by either of 'p' (playback) or 'r' (record), or both of them.
This indicates the direction you want to set.
The remaining parameters
.Ar encoding ,
.Ar precision ,
.Ar channels ,
and
.Ar sample_rate
indicate the hardware format you want to set.
These parameters must be selected from the candidates displayed by
.Nm
.Cm list .
.Pp
Called with
.Dq Cm test ,
it plays a dialing sequence for each channel of the device with the index
.Ar index .
The number dialed is taken from the AUDIOCFG_DIAL environment variable
and is 555-2368 by default. Called with
.Dq Cm default ,
it sets the default audio device to the one with the index
.Ar index .
.Pp
.Nm
needs access to
.Pa /dev/drvctl
and write access to
.Pa /dev
(when used with
.Dq Cm default )
to work.
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width 10n
.It Pa /dev/audio
Symlink to default audio device.
.It Pa /dev/audio[0-9]*
Available audio devices.
.It Pa /dev/audioctl
Symlink to default audio control device.
.It Pa /dev/audioctl[0-9]*
Available audio control devices.
.It Pa /dev/drvctl
Used for finding the corresponding audio driver to an audio device.
.It Pa /dev/mixer
Symlink to default mixer device.
.It Pa /dev/mixer[0-9]*
Available mixer devices.
.It Pa /dev/sound
Symlink to default audio device (for the difference to
.Pa /dev/audio ,
see
