KMixer is the Kernel Audio Mixer driver, a part of WDM Audio in Windows 98 to Windows XP which handles the mixing of multiple sound buffers into an output. The tasks performed by KMixer.sys: Mixing multiple PCM audio streams; Format, bit-depth (also known as word-length) and sample-rate conversion; Speaker configuration and channel mapping
A refinement of the normalization of jacks is the presence on the mixer of an insert control which, when adjusted, allows the user to patch into or around the inserted devices at will without having to physically disconnect the insert cables. Most modern entry-level and medium-format mixers use a single TRS phone jack for both send and return.

Mixer controls are similar to that of a mixing console. They consist of volume sliders or rotary controls that represent each individual source, which ...
In Windows 95, 98 and Me, the DirectSound mixer component and the sound card drivers were both implemented as a kernel-mode VxD driver (Dsound.vxd), allowing direct access to the primary buffer used by the audio hardware and thus, providing the lowest possible latency between the user-mode API and the underlying hardware, but in some cases ...

Sounds that are mixed include those from instruments and voices which are picked up by microphones (for drum kit, lead vocals and acoustic instruments like piano or saxophone and pickups for instruments such as electric bass ...
A digital mixer may solve this problem: a sound operator can operate the whole sound system from a laptop computer. With the proper set-up, it can even be done by a wireless tablet for increased mobility. In fact, many of the digital mixer's functions are easier to operate from a computer screen than the actual mixing console.
Audio mixing is the process by which multiple sounds are combined into one or more audio channels. In the process, a source's volume level, frequency content , dynamics , and panoramic position are manipulated or enhanced.
