[WillPower3309]

Check out #46, and let me know if installing alsa / pulseaudio doesn't resolve the issue

[aaryamanm128]

So it turns out i can change the volume ,that works complely fine i have those modules pre installed in linux mint , It does change the volume , but it cannot show me the thing

I have the same error, and I have pulseaudio installed. Volume does not change, and there is no slider when the volume bar appears.

It seems like I have fixed it. In volume-adjust.lua:

         function(stdout)
            local volume_level = tonumber(stdout)
            volume_bar.value = volume_level
            if (volume_level > 40) then
               volume_icon:set_image(icon_dir .. "volume.png")
            elseif (volume_level > 0) then
               volume_icon:set_image(icon_dir .. "volume-low.png")
            else
               volume_icon:set_image(icon_dir .. "volume-off.png")

         end,
         false
      )

      -- make volume_adjust component visible
      if volume_adjust.visible then
         hide_volume_adjust:again()
      else
         volume_adjust.visible = true
         hide_volume_adjust:start()
      end
   end
)

I have changed the way it gets the volume percentage, and it functions. I have also changed keys.lua:

-- ALSA volume control
   awful.key({}, "XF86AudioRaiseVolume",
      function()
         awful.spawn("amixer set Master 5%+", false)
         awesome.emit_signal("volume_change")
      end,
      {description = "volume up", group = "hotkeys"}
   ),
   awful.key({}, "XF86AudioLowerVolume",
      function()
         awful.spawn("amixer set Master 5%-", false)
         awesome.emit_signal("volume_change")
      end,
      {description = "volume down", group = "hotkeys"}
   ),
   awful.key({}, "XF86AudioMute",
      function()
         awful.spawn("amixer set Master toggle", false)
         awesome.emit_signal("volume_change")
      end,
      {description = "toggle mute", group = "hotkeys"}
   ),

this should work for any new versions of alsa/linux.

[WillPower3309]

Awesome! I'll take a look at it. Would you be open to submitting a PR with the changes?

[RedstonerCKZ]

Sure, no problem. Let me know when you are ready.
