I decided it might be smart of me to post this script on my blog so i knew i had it in the future, as well as others might find it useful. The script was originally made by the user abarilla from archlinux forums which I have later modified slightly.
Abarilla said:
I created a script for handling my volume control which uses the notify-osd package from AUR. This is the newfangled notifications from Ubuntu. It’s nothing fancy so the notify-osd-bzr package will probably work fine as well.
This is for alsa but with some minor mods it should work with oss.
The format for the command is: vol.sh {up|down|mute} [-i increment] [-m mixer]
Increment is either a percent or number just like you would pass to amixer. Defaults to 5%
Mixer is the name of the control to change. Defaults to Master
So to sum it up, requirements are ALSA and notify-osd. Anyway here’s the almost original script:
#!/bin/sh usage="usage: $0 -c {up|down|mute} [-i increment] [-m mixer]" command= increment=5% mixer=Master while getopts i:m:h o do case "$o" in i) increment=$OPTARG;; m) mixer=$OPTARG;; h) echo "$usage"; exit 0;; ?) echo "$usage"; exit 0;; esac done shift $(($OPTIND - 1)) command=$1 if [ "$command" = "" ]; then echo "usage: $0 {up|down|mute} [increment]" exit 0; fi display_volume=0 if [ "$command" = "up" ]; then display_volume=$(amixer set $mixer $increment+ unmute | grep -m 1 "%]" | cut -d "[" -f2|cut -d "%" -f1) fi if [ "$command" = "down" ]; then display_volume=$(amixer set $mixer $increment- unmute | grep -m 1 "%]" | cut -d "[" -f2|cut -d "%" -f1) fi icon_name="" if [ "$command" = "mute" ]; then amixer get $mixer | grep "\[on\]" > /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then display_volume=0 icon_name="notification-audio-volume-muted" amixer set $mixer mute else display_volume=$(amixer set $mixer unmute | grep -m 1 "%]" | cut -d "[" -f2|cut -d "%" -f1) fi fi if [ "$icon_name" = "" ]; then if [ "$display_volume" = "0" ]; then icon_name="notification-audio-volume-off" else if [ "$display_volume" -lt "33" ]; then icon_name="notification-audio-volume-low" else if [ "$display_volume" -lt "67" ]; then icon_name="notification-audio-volume-medium" else icon_name="notification-audio-volume-high" fi fi fi fi notify-send " " -i $icon_name -h int:value:$display_volume -h string:synchronous:volume
