Panel plugin to show volume for ALSA

Hi,

Im using ALSA for sound w/o pulseaudio.

Is there a panel plugin to show/control the volume?.

I had xfce4-pulseaudio plugin but iit work only with pulseuadio.

Thanks

Re: Panel plugin to show volume for ALSA

Is there a reason your not using pulseaudio or pipewire?

I think you can still use the panel plugin and then just set the mixer to alsamixer.

There is also xfce4-mixer. It supports OSS and ALSA.

Re: Panel plugin to show volume for ALSA

Which distro are you using? Is it in your repositories?

Install instructions kind of depend on distro.

Re: Panel plugin to show volume for ALSA

Are you using the stable or rolling version of Sparky? Which version of Xfce is being used?

There is also pnmixer and volumneicon-alsa which should be in your repositories if you are looking for an easy solution.

Re: Panel plugin to show volume for ALSA

Thanks. I've installed volumeicon-alsa.
How do I get it listed in the list of available panel items (when I right-click on a panel->Add item) ?.

Re: Panel plugin to show volume for ALSA

"Add Item" is for Xfce4 panel plugins only. Volumeicon-alsa is a stand alone application that sits in the system tray. First start by making sure you have the system tray plugin added via "Add Item". You can test it by opening a terminal and

volumeicon-alsa &

It should show up in the tray if everything is working ok. If so you can add it to the autostart so it starts when you login.

Re: Panel plugin to show volume for ALSA

Thanks. It's apparently called just "volumeicon" now. It's working.
Cheers
