Sorry, few weeks ago mixerctl was changed to use /dev/audioctlN instead of /dev/mixerN (which was just removed), but the usbhidaction(1) man page was not updated. Now it's fixed. The sample invocation line should read: usbhidaction -f /dev/uhid1 -c conf /dev/audioctl0 Tested on my setup, let me know if it works for you.
