http://crunchbang.org – Thanks so much, drlove601! This worked for me alsodrlove601 wrote:I finally found a solution!...although it took me a little while.  In case anyone else has had the same problem, here's what I did.  The problem was that I wanted to change the default soundcard used by alsa and pulseaudio so that I could adjust the volume using the multimedia keys.  All you need to do is install xfce4-settings:sudo apt-get install xfce4-settingsNow just simply run xfce4-settings-editor and under xfce4-mixer change the setting for /active-card by hitting the reset property button. That shoul (HowTos)

Just a follow up to this for anyone with the same issue.  I ended up installing alsa, alsa-oss, and pulseaudio-alsa, and then configuring them with an Alsa Mixer (in this case xfce4-mixer, but there are others) and Pulseaudio Volume Control (pavucontrol).  In Pulseaudio Volume Control, I disabled 'HD-Audio Generic', as it is for the HDMI output of my graphics card, and set &#03

Multimedia Keys in PulseAudio 39 weeks 5 days ago

I'm having a problem with my multimedia keys and pulseaudio.  They seem to be working alright, but the problem is that they change the wrong volume in pulseaudio.  I want them to change the volume for my laptop speakers, but instead it's changing the volume for hdmi output.  I did do a search in the forums but couldn't find this exact problem.

Hello folks.  I've been trying to use my f9 and f10 keys to lower and raise my volume.  I have xfce4-volumed and gstreamer0.10-alsa installed.  What else could I be missing?  Do I need to add the entire xfce package?Thanks in advance.Dave

A little update:Don't know if this is of any use to anybody - but I figured out why my volume keys weren't working:In .config/openbox/autostart you have a little entry:## Volume keys daemon xfce4-volumed &And obviously this daemon inhibited the keys so I couldn't map them to do what I want them to do.

I just installed Xubuntu 12.04 lts. I managed to get my keyboards volume keys working properly by going into settings manager and then xfce4-mixer. I changed the active card to get the speaker volume working through the controls. Unfortunately, the icon for volume on the bar at the top does not update accordingly, or at all.

Removing Xfce4 1 year 9 weeks ago

Guys,I installed Xfce a while ago but decided I'm an Openbox person, no offence ;)I thought I had removed Xfce4 from my system so I was amazed when I saw it listed in the sessions list at login, using GDM.  I started a Xfce session and sure enough it appears to work OK.The problem now is that I can't get rid of it, I've tried:sudo apt-get remove xfce4 xfce4-goodiesbut it states
