aumix not working after upgrade today

Hi,

After the upgrade aumix doesn't seem to work.

I always get following error:

[

hardik@sunshine: ~ ]$ aumix
aumix:  error opening mixer: No such file or directory

I have assigned keyboard shortcuts for aumix, I don't know if I can use any other mixer like this.

regards,
Hardik

Any fix ?

I have never used aumix....so I cannot help you there.

But I use amixer and it works as advertised. You might want to look into that.

Hi,

Thanks can you point me to some documentation on how amixer can be used with command line ?

regards,
Hardik

Have you tried reinstalling?

pacman -S aumix
warning: provider package was selected (aumix-gtk provides aumix)

So if you want to remove the package, you have to run 'pacman -Rs aumix-gtk'.

As for amixer:

vol () 
{ 
    amixer set 'Master Mono' "$10%" &>/dev/null
}

Now 'vol 5' will set the volume to 50%.
