# dgm20-linux
Control the **Maono DGM20** USB microphone on Linux. Maono Link only runs on Windows and macOS;
this covers the same settings with a local web page and a command-line tool.
![The control page](docs/screenshot.png)
- Noise cancellation on/off and strength
- Vocal enhancement
- Hear yourself (headphone monitoring)
- Mute, kept in sync with the mic's touch pad
- RGB ring brightness
- Factory reset
Pure Python, no dependencies. Nothing leaves your machine: the page is served from your own
computer and loads no external fonts or scripts.

## Supported hardware
| Model | USB ID | Status |
|-------|--------|--------|
| DGM20 | `352f:0105` | Supported, tested on firmware 2.1.2 |
| DGM20 (newer revision) | `352f:0112` | Not yet |
| DGM20G, DGM20W | `352f:0113`, `352f:041a`-`041d` | Not yet |
Find your mic's ID with `lsusb | grep -i maono`. If you have one of the unsupported models and want
to help, open an issue with that output.
## Install
You need Python 3.9 or newer with `venv` (Debian and Ubuntu: `sudo apt install python3-venv`).
```sh
git clone https://git.reiners.io/ReinersCloudConsulting/dgm20-linux.git
cd dgm20-linux
./install.sh
```
Then unplug the mic and plug it back in once.
The installer:
1. puts the program in its own virtualenv under `~/.local/share/dgm20-linux`, with the commands
`dgm20ctl` and `dgm20-web` linked into `~/.local/bin`, and
2. asks for sudo once to add a udev rule (`/etc/udev/rules.d/70-maono-dgm20.rules`) that lets you
use the mic's control channel without root.
Run it as your normal user, not with sudo.
### Options
| Option | What it does |
|--------|--------------|
| `--service` | Runs the control page in the background now and every time you log in (systemd user service). |
| `--lan` | Lets other devices on your network open the page too. Opens the port in firewalld or ufw for your local subnet only. Implies `--service`. |
| `--port N` | Uses a different port (default 8720). |
| `--group NAME` | Group allowed to use the mic from ssh sessions. Default: the first of `plugdev`, `wheel`, `sudo` that you belong to. Desktop logins always have access. |
| `--no-udev` | Skips the udev rule. |
| `--dry-run` | Prints every change instead of making it. |
`--lan` has no login. Anyone on your network can change your mic settings, so only use it on a
network you trust. If you run a firewall other than firewalld or ufw, the installer tells you what
to allow.
### Uninstall
```sh
./uninstall.sh
```
This removes everything the installer added: the service, firewall rule, udev rule and program
files. The installer keeps a record of what it changed, so only those changes are undone. Your mic
keeps its current settings.
## Use
```sh
dgm20-web --open # open the control page (http://localhost:8720)
dgm20ctl # show current settings
dgm20ctl set nc on nc-level 80
dgm20ctl set monitor off enhance on brightness 40
dgm20ctl watch # print changes made on the mic itself
dgm20ctl info # model and firmware
dgm20ctl factory-reset --yes
```
| Setting | Values |
|---------|--------|
| `mute` | on, off |
| `nc` | on, off: noise cancellation |
| `nc-level` | 0-100: noise cancellation strength |
| `enhance` | on, off: vocal enhancement |
| `monitor` | on, off: hear yourself in headphones plugged into the mic |
| `brightness` | 0-100: RGB ring |
Settings are stored on the mic, so they stay the same after a replug and on other computers.
Input gain and headphone volume are standard USB audio controls. Set them in your desktop's sound
settings, `pavucontrol` or `alsamixer`.
### Using the page from another computer without opening a port
If the mic is plugged into a machine you reach over ssh, forward the port instead of using `--lan`:
```sh
ssh -L 8720:localhost:8720 that-machine
```
Then open http://localhost:8720 on your own computer.
## Troubleshooting
**"no permission to open /dev/hidrawN"**: the udev rule isn't applied yet. Unplug and replug the
mic. Over ssh, make sure you're in the group the installer printed (`id -nG`). If you were just
added to that group, log in again.
**"DGM20 (352f:0105) not found"**: check `lsusb | grep -i maono`. A different USB ID means a
model that isn't supported yet (see above).
**The page says "Mic not found"**: plug the mic in. The page reconnects by itself.
**`dgm20-web: cannot listen on 127.0.0.1:8720`**: it's already running, for example as the
service. Open http://localhost:8720, or pick another port with `--port`.
**Commands not found after installing**: `~/.local/bin` isn't on your `PATH`. Add
`export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"` to your shell profile.
**Service stops when you log out**: run `sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER`.
## How it works
The mic has a vendor HID channel next to its audio interfaces. The settings were found by reading
Maono Link's DGM20 plugin and then checked against a real mic. [PROTOCOL.md](PROTOCOL.md) documents
the packet format and register map. `dgm20ctl raw get|set|dump` gives direct register access for
exploring.
## Development
```sh
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m unittest discover -s tests
PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m dgm20.web
```
