- **KMIX\_MUTE(X)**

  Here X is a kmix mixer. You can get a list of mixers that are supported by running: dcop kmix

- **KMIX\_MUTE(device,device2,device3,...)**

  Here deviceX is a string name of a mixer device (e.g. "Mixer0" to mute.) This allows you to mute more than one mixer at a time.

- For the KMIX\_VOLUP and KMIX\_VOLDOWN macros. Each have the following forms.

  - **KMIX\_VOLUP or KMIX\_VOLDOWN**

  Increment or decrement the default mixer by an increment of 3.

- **KMIX\_VOLUP(X) or KMIX\_VOLDOWN(X)**

  Increment or decrement the default kmix mixer by a value of X.

- **KMIX\_VOLUP(X,device,X2,device2,X3,device3,...) or KMIX\_VOLDOWN(X,device,X2,device2,X3,device3,...)**

  X is the volume to adjust the following device by.
