amixer with pulse

[fotofiete]

Hi!
On ubuntu with pulseaudio it is not possible to change the volume since lrc uses amixer with the 'Master' control - for pulseaudio it needs the option '-D pulse'. Would it be possible to change that in a future release? Or to switch it completely to media keys as it is done with rhythmbox?

Hi @fotofiete.
Of course, we can add support to pulseaudio on lrc without problems.
We will implement and probably launch in next version.
Thank you for your feedback.

Why doesn't the default device work with amixer ? I'm running pulseaudio too (under fedora 20), and it works with and without the -D pulse option. Do you have more details ?

Good question... Here's my result:

$ amixer set Master 30%
amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Master',0
$ amixer -D pulse set Master 30%
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 65536
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 19661 [30%] [on]
Front Right: Playback 19661 [30%] [on]

That's all I know so far...

What happens when you type amixer scontrols ?

Here is my output :

Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Simple mixer control 'Capture',0
