Re: volume control commands

Try to install alsa-utils package. It should come with both alsamixer and amixer.
You should also check the wiki article if that doesn't solve the problem.

thx...
Everything works now!
I have installed alsa-utils yestarday and I had to make some mistake when I was typing the command. I thought it's installed...
So now I tried to install alsa-utils again and everything is OK.
