Hello again, more novice questions on i3.
I would like to control the sound volume in i3. Since all the keyboards I use
have dedicated keys to control sound volume, I added the following lines to the
config file (as indicated in the FAQ):
# Pulse Audio controls
bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-volume 0 +5%
#increase sound volume
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-volume 0 -5%
#decrease sound volume
bindsym XF86AudioMute exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-mute 0 toggle # mute
sound
However, with these bindings loaded the system remain unresponsive to these
keys. I then tried software based controls. I am able to start the sound volume
applet from Mutiny, which adds an indicator to the i3 bar where one can access
a classical volume scroll bar. As with the buttons, scrolling the volume
control has no effect on the volume of the sound output.
How can I control then sound volume in i3 then?
Thank you.
