Card 0, builtin intel soundchip is automatically set as default in Pavucontrol, hence I can change the main volume via mouse wheel when the mouse pointer is above the speaker icon in the taskbar.
Hi everybody!
Perhaps someone else have similar side effects? --
I am running MGA7x64 with Xfce4, and in this box there are two
"soundcards" available:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC262 Analog [ALC262 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Headset [Logitech USB Headset], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Card 0, builtin intel soundchip is automatically set as default in Pavucontrol, hence I can change the main volume via mouse wheel when the mouse pointer is above the speaker icon in the taskbar.
The second device is a headset which comes along with a volume switch integrated into the usb cable. I saw that there are no shortcuts needed
to set the volume by pressing up or down on the switch.
But: This applies always to the default sound output.
Meaning: When the default output is still card 0 / internal, then the
sound switch of card 1 / usb headset, is controlling sound volume of card
0 / internal out (!)
Creating two shortcuts for AudioRaiseVolume / AudioLowerVolume doesn't
help, since it only tries to overwrite some internal / "hidden" shortcut
and this fails.
Reason behind: I want to be able to easily change the volume of the
headset during phone calls with the headset-builtin switch.
Any trick to get around this? -- Thanks!
Back when I was using ekiga for phone calls, I had to do the same thing.
At the time, I used aumix to set desired device levels and used alsactl
to save the settings.

I am only running speakers, but when sound problems hit with Linux they
seem to hit hard. and with each release...

Well, when logging in as root, setting the volume and leaving the
session, then the volume values are saved as system-wide defaults and are restored on next login as any user. This works.
But, besides this, I need to be able to modify the volume during phone
calls easily and at any time to better react to ambient noises etc. This
is very important when calling to cell phones.
Unfortunately, just set and restore is not enough.
So, usually I use to deploy shortcuts containing commands like these:
amixer -c Headset set Headphone 10%-
amixer -c Headset set Headphone 10%+
But, obviously these shortcuts conflict with "hidden" shortcuts triggered
by the built-in volume switch of the headset.
