Re: [orca-list] Volume Controls With Alsamixer

[Chris Watson <c74watson gmail com>]

Have you tried muting/unmuting the master channel? When you bring up alsamixer, press 'm'. It is a toogle, so if you don't hear any sound, then its muted. If that's the case, press again before exiting.

Chris,

I put another speaker on it that I can control the volume.

But it is so distorted, it is unintelligible.

Does anyone know how to change the pre-amp?

Glen,

Bring up alsamixer and it defaults at "master volume. Just up arrow, and the volume should hopefully increase.

Hi,

I'm trying Buster Armbian on my Pine A64 LTS.

It has 2GB of RAM.

Looks like I got Orca going on it, but the volume is so low, it is unintelligable.

So I did ctrl alt T for terminal

Then I logged in as root, as I usually do.

Then I ran alsamixer

And I need to know the keyboard commands for changing the volume.

I can SSH into it, and I have been trying commands like

amixer -c 0 set Master 50%

but no matter if I use 0 or 1, it does not know the simple device Master.

I have tried amixer scontrols

and I get nothing but the command line prompt back.

aplay -l does not show me anything.

I have a speaker in the headphone jack, and have not ever plugged in HDMI.

So it would seem that the easiest way would be to have some keyboard commands in alsamixer for changing the volume.

For some reason, in this distro, the armbian-config does not work well with teraterm or putty, and it seems equally bad with alsamixer during an SSH session.

Thanks
