xmmix

[Aelius Gallus]

I have just installed it using pkgin, but it doesn't work.
Trying to start it, I get the following message,

$ xmmix

FIOASYNC ioctl failed: Invalid argument

Any suggestion to correct it, will be appreciated.

Did you install the dependencies?

I had to look up xmmix, more info would be helpful :)

You do not state how you are using it, bluetooth, direct,
whatever and the hardware. NetBSD can be on many types
of hardware. But if bluetooth I doubt I can help.

I would suggest you review:

http://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-audio.html

and maybe

Thank you for your replies. I decided to control the audio volume
by using the mixerctl command, instead of xmmix. Thank you once
again.

You don't have to, NetBSD has a built-in curses UI to manage the sound
subsystem and the in-kernel mixer. It's called `aiomixer'; see
aiomixer(1).
If you're on NetBSD 8.x/9.x, then you can find in in packages at
audio/aiomixer.

I didn't know about aiomixer and didn't installed it. After
installation it is working like a charm. Thank you for sharing your
knowledge.
