A simple GUI volume control tool for fluxbox
 

Hi,

I do almost everything on command line. Maybe the only GUI tool I need is
the sound volume control tool, but I don't have it any more -- I used to
use tkmixer. Now that it's obsoleted, I'm yet to find a GUI sound mixer
plain and simple enough for me.

Just like Gnome/Windows volume control tool -- nothing fancy and eye
catching, just out of the way most of the time, but when I need it, it's
a click away and offer nothing complicated than the main (and PCM) volume
control. tkmixer used to foot the bill. sigh...

Am I really out of luck now?

Thanks

How about "gamix", "aumix-gtk" or "wmix"?

Earlier today I finally set up my Fluxbox keys file to handle this.

# volume settings -- up, down, and mute:
Control Mod1 9 :Exec amixer sset Master,0 1+
Control Mod1 8 :Exec amixer sset Master,0 1-
Control Mod1 0 :Exec amixer sset Master,0 toggle

# microphone settings -- up, down, and mute:
Control Mod1 3 :Exec amixer sset Capture,0 1+
Control Mod1 2 :Exec amixer sset Capture,0 1-
Control Mod1 1 :Exec amixer sset Capture,0 toggle

# alsamixer
Control Mod1 6 :Exec uxterm -font a14 -geometry 70x20 -T "alsamixer" -e alsamixer -V all

Not exactly GUI, but it works. Note that on my system that runs
pulseaudio, I need slightly different settings. Let me know if you want
to see them.

Using xbindkeys, I assigned
/usr/bin/amixer set PCM 5%+ to Ctrl+Up
/usr/bin/amixer set PCM 5%- to Ctrl+Down

An advantage of xbindkeys is that it works in other WMs and DEs as well.
Not exactly GUI, but I find it even easier than that.

You don't even need a GUI tool: a console application like alsamixer
(from the alsa-utils package) will do the job.

There is a nice little app called 'FB-Mix'[1] a friend of mine wrote for
Fluxbox.

<quote>
A simple mixer applet for the system tray

FB-Mix is designed to sit in the Fluxbox system tray and popup an
alsamixer window when clicked. No doubt it works with other window
managers too.

As of version 0.2 volume can also be adjusted using the mouse
scrollwheel when hovering over the icon.

That's true but what gets me with alsamixer is remembering the keys for
left and right up and down.

<open the diary> <search for the page with the keys>
QWE = up
ZXC = down.
I don't have to remember with a GUI like with gnome. What's their volume
control?

Hi,

If you just want volume control, i use gkrellm's volume plugin. Does
come with other core plugins so maybe not what you want. Keybindings
seem interesting.

Gnome's is gnome-volume-control, which is in the gnome-media package.

There's also gnome-alsamixer and alsamixergui to consider.
