You can either ask for them one by one, like:
Code:
echo -n Please enter first value:
read VALUE1
echo -n Please enter second value:
read VALUE2

or you can read them both at once.
Code:
echo -n Enter two values, separated by blanks:
read VALUE1 VALUE2

cmpci

CMPCI(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						  CMPCI(4)

NAME

     cmpci -- C-Media CMI8x38 audio device driver

SYNOPSIS

     cmpci* at pci? dev ? function ?
     audio* at audiobus?
     mpu*   at cmpci?
     opl*   at cmpci? flags 1

DESCRIPTION

     The cmpci device driver supports C-Media CMI8x38 based sound cards.

     The device has SPDIF input/output interfaces, 16bit CODEC with analog mixer, OPL3 FM Synthesizer, and MPU401 compatible MIDI I/O port inter-
     face.

MIXER DEVICE

     The mixer device of cmpci driver can be accessed via mixerctl(1) command.	The complex structure is analyzed as follows.

     SPDIF in  ----------------------
     #1(coax)->|spdin1		    |  R    -----------------------
     #2(opt)-->|spdin2	spdif.input |--*->--|spdin   spdif.output |--> SPDIF

     AUX       ---------------------- R ---------------------------  |	 |
	       ------------------				     |	 |
     PC-SPK -->| inputs.speaker |----------------------------------->| + |
	       ------------------				     |	 |
	       -------------------  ------------  -----------------  |mix|
     MIC --*-->|inputs.mic.preamp|->|inputs.mic|->|inputs.mic.mute|->|	 |
	   |   -------------------  ------------  -----------------  -----
	   |   ------------   ----------------- 		      |
	   --->|record.mic|-->| 	      | 		      v
	       ------------   | record.source |-->to	     -----------
			 *R-->| (select, mix) |   recording  |outputs.*|-->
			      ----------------- 	     ----------- SPK
								      (front)

     Note the 2nd SPDIF input exists only on CMI8738/PCI-6ch versions.

MIXER EXAMPLES

     Here are examples about wave playback and SPDIF input/output ports.

     Playback to speaker, SPDIF input to SPDIF output
	      mixerctl -w playback.mode=dac spdif.output=spdin spdif.monitor=off

     Playback to SPDIF output, SPDIF input to speaker
	      mixerctl -w playback.mode=spdif spdif.output=playback spdif.output.playback=wave spdif.monitor=spdin

     SPDIF input to both SPDIF output and speaker
	      mixerctl -w spdif.output=spdin spdif.monitor=spdin

     Playback to both SPDIF output and speaker
	      mixerctl -w playback.mode=spdif spdif.output=playback spdif.output.playback=wave spdif.monitor=spdout

     Mix playback and SPDIF input to speaker
	      mixerctl -w playback.mode=dac spdif.monitor=spdin

SEE ALSO

     mixerctl(1), audio(4), midi(4), mpu(4), opl(4), pci(4)
