[SOLVED] No way to control the sound

insciwetrust · 2019-10-20 08:05:43

I enabled sound with alsa-utils and it works, but I can't control it neither through the buttons on my laptop nor the sound logo.

Edit: I appointed my buttons as shortcuts to increase and decrease the volume using "amixer -c 0 set Master 1db+/1db-", but I can't see the volume level.

Edit 2: Seems like the problem was because pavucontrol and pulseaudio wasn't installed. I fixed it and now I can manage the sound using the sound logo provided by pulseaudio. But I am still looking for a way to view the volume level while being able to increase/decrease the volume with my buttons.

Edit 3: I fixed everything, after deleting the shortcuts and rebooting the system, the buttons had their default functions again and now everything works. Sorry for wasting your time.

I'm not an expert, but may i can help.
Where do u want to view the sound level?

I use polybar as example to view the sound level.
Works fine for me.

I don't need help anymore, I fixed it. But thank you anyway.
