# 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%
 | 
						|
```
 |
