Controlling Master and Headset at the same time

Hello,

I'm using GNOME 2.14 and using a laptop computer for all my needs. I've
3 controls (Volume Up, Down and Mute) on my laptop that I use to control
the Master channel. But if I connect a headset to listen to my music, I
have to manually change the volume from the mixer. Is there a option or
some kind of work around that I can control the Master and Headset
channels at the same time.. I want them to be the same always..?

Re: Controlling Master and Headset at the same time

If you have setup keyboard shortcuts to run specific commands with xbindkeys or the like, you can make them run these commands:

amixer set Master 1- & amixer set Headphone 1-

amixer set Master 1+ & amixer set Headphone 1+

You have to investigate how to match them as on my box the headphone command changes more than the master, so that you might need to use 3 -/+ from master to match 1 -/+ from headphones for example.

I had problems with volume control in Gnome on my laptop. See the thread here. You could use that script and just modify it to do your Master volume and Headphone volume.
