I'm trying to decode DTMF (phone tones) from my linux sound card. I tried to use multimon. But when I run "multimon -a DTMF" as it says in the documentation, it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to use "multimon", or any other program that works the same in linux?

$ multimon -a DTMF
multimod  (C) 1996/1997 by Tom Sailer HB9JNX/AE4WA

Enabled demodulators: DTMF
open: No such file or directory

When I run "strace -e file multimon -a DTMF 2>&1 | grep ENOENT", this is the output:

$ strace -e file multimon -a DTMF 2>&1 | grep ENOENT
access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

  • Can you run strace -e file multimon -a DTMF 2>&1 | grep ENOENT? Commented Apr 19, 2019 at 14:49
  • I added the output to the question. It's useful?

Finally, multimon-ng which is the successor to multimon works well for demodulating DTMF.

$ multimon-ng -a DTMF
multimon-ng 1.1.8
