I can not change my volume.

62295 %

Got it fixed, but this no longer works.

/usr/bin/amixer set Master 50%

Starting Open Arena is blowing my ears out.

Are you saying that the retrovol slider on the GUI doesn't work?

I have only one sound card, but alsamixer shows 4. ??

I found and selected one that works.

this no longer works.

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/amixer set Master 50%

# ./50_Volume.sh
amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Master',0

If you've got it, run multiple soundcard wizard on first run. Originally a fatdog script. I think it's in woofce. The newer kernels and slackware have problems with having anything but pulse audio as the default sound 'techy'.

Thanks.

I used alsamixer to find that my audio card is number 3.

This now sets the volume correctly.

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/ amixer -c 3 set Master 100%

Related issue.

amixer -c 3 set Master 100% is in a startup script.

After bootup, volume is always muted.

I have to manually set the volume using the mouse. ??

After manually settting volume, then amixer works ??
