| # Pulse
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you have pulse, use pulse.
 | |
| Check with `which pulseaudio`. No output means you need to use alsa (below).
 | |
| 
 | |
| # Volume Control
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| pactl set sink @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5%
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Find working outputs:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| aplay -l
 | |
| ```
 | |
|

| #Sound Settings
 | |
| 
 | |
| Surround.5 seems best.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| # Find what Sound settings exist
 | |
| 
 | |
| amixer scontrols
 | |
| 
 | |
| # Change a Sound setting
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| amixer set Master 5%-
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| # Restart everything
 | |
| 
 | |
| pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload
 | |
| 
 | |
| # Alsa
 | |
| 
 | |
| Toggle, mute, increase or decrase audio:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| amixer sset Master toggle
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| amixer sset Master mute
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| amixer sset Master 5%+
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| amixer sset Master 5%-

| # Finicky Sound Cards
 | |
| 
 | |
| Start with:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| alsamixer
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Then press `F6` to see available Sound cards.
 | |
| If you find a Sound card called 'PinePhone', then you can select an audio source there, and adjust with:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| amixer -c PinePhone set 'Headphone' 50%
 | |
| ```
