Hi,
I just had a system crash, and as result of that I no longer see the volume applet in the bar,
nor do the volume keys in my keyboard work. I’m using oS 12.1 and xfce.
I have tried the xfce mixer plugin. It works, but is not a volume control, it is the entire
mixer - and the keys do not work. I have also tried “gnome-sound-applet”. Still no keys.
Other keys like the calculator or email keys do not work any longer, but the only one I need,
rather, 3, are the volume keys (more, less, and mute).

Make sure xfce4-volumed is installed. I am not sure of the command to autostart it (if any).

Thanks! It was not installed, now it works.
But how was it working before? I guess it was a gnome applet that was loaded, but I wonder why
it did not load this time.

Well, not completely… the volume keys change the volume of the headphones, which is wrong for
my machine, and I don’t see how to change that.
Also the volume applet changes the volume of the headphones.

Do you have pulse installed? It might be easier to manage sound with pavucontrol. Alsa is kind of a mess, but even so I am not even sure how to debug or set which device as default. Sorry.

I have pavucontrol, but as far as I can see it is another application, and it doesn’t handle
keypresses or put a volume applet into the xfce panel.
