Display volume of alsa on i3status
- System: gentoo
- Desktop: i3wm
here is my i3status config of volumes:
order += "volume master"
order += "volume speaker"
volume master {
format = "♪ %volume"
format_muted = "♪ muted (%volume)"
device = "default"
mixer = "Master"
mixer_idx = 0
}
volume speaker {
format = "♪ %volume"
format_muted = "♪ muted (%volume)"
device = "default"
mixer = "Speaker"
mixer_idx = 0
}
As you can see, I just change 'master' to my other card scontrol from command:
$ amixer scontrols
important: You should change your .asoundrc too, like this:
defaults.pcm.!card 2
defaults.pcm.!device 0
defaults.ctl.!card 2
defaults.pcm.dmix.rate 96000
