    PulseAudio Volume Control From Terminal

    Hi All,

    I've finally got pulse completely functional in Bodhi but my media keys using amixer set Master 4-% and the increasing one as well, don't work. What's the equivalent command using Pulse to increase and decrease volume. Thanks all

    Have you tried 'pavucontrol'? It is tricky, partly because it fiddles about with alsamixer settings as you fiddle about with it.

    Try it without the % sign.
    Here's mine:
    Code:
    key "F8"			amixer set Master toggle       # mute
    key "F9"			amixer set Master 3-	# lower volume
    key "F10"			amixer set Master 3+    # raise volume
