how to assign pactl command on rc.lua

Hello,
I am trying to create a keybind for my volumes on awesome wm and i cant get to work for pulseaudio
here is the code:

awful.key({ altkey }, "Up",                                                                                                                                                         
412         function ()                                                                                                                                                                     
413                 os.execute(string.format("pactl -- set-sink-volume 0  +1", beautiful.volume.channel))                                                                                   
414             beautiful.volume.update()                                                                                                                                                   
415         end,                                                                                                                                                                             
416         {description = "volume up", group = "hotkeys"}),   

I have an idea for how to do it for amixer but cant find any google link for pulseaudio

Thank you

Re: how to assign pactl command on rc.lua

Welcome to the BBS.

Please use code tags when posting code (and do not include line numbers).

More substantively, what is the error you are running into with this code? Also, note that you are using string.format() but have no format specifiers in that string.

All the best,
