# 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%
|
|
```
