Openports.se search for mixer
amixer was recently removed. Some media players also have their own mixer/volume controls Last edited by shep; 29th July 2015 at 02:39 AM. |

This is what I use, it is in a script file called vol,
Code:
mixerctl outputs.master=$1,$1 Code:
./vol 170

Not sure what setting you wish to use a volume control in? Are you using a Desktop Environment, a Window manager, FVWM/CMW. Do you want laptop hotkeys, a python script?
My OpenBox hotkeys Code:
<!-- Keybindings for Audio Volume --> <keybind key="C-Up"> <action name="Execute"> <command>mixerctl outputs.master=+12</command> </action> </keybind> <keybind key="C-Down"> <action name="Execute"> <command>mixerctl outputs.master=-12 </command> </action> </keybind> <keybind key="C-m"> <action name="Execute"> <command>mixerctl outputs.master.mute=toggle</command> </action> </keybind> |

This question is slightly malformed. It's not that OpenBSD provides a graphical volume slider, it's that desktop environments tend to do so. If you're running Gnome3, KDE4, or Xfce4, then you get a slider. If not, then you probably won't.
x11/xfce4/xfce4-mixer will run standalone. |

Here is the tray-app website complete with screenshots. It also lists various "trays", that meet freedesktop specs, for fvwm, cwm, xfce4, windowmaker .....
I use it with tint2 -- click the speaker icon on your upper right and a volume slider pops up. Last edited by shep; 29th July 2015 at 01:21 AM. |

Also in ports:
sysutils/tray-app And very nice, may I add. I don't need the eject but I've already added battery and sound to my .xsession Integrates nicely with fluxbox too! It could use someone to maintain it though... |

I think you are also not clear on "desktop OpenBSD". The base install for OpenBSD comes with fvwm, cwm and twm as window managers. If you just ran $ startx you will get fvwm which is the global default. If you set your own .xsession you can start twm or cwm. If your "command line" days are behind you, OpenBSD may not be a good fit for you. Many of the configuration files are set via a terminal and a text editor.

Nah, OpenBSD with a good desktop environment is perfectly fine for someone who doesn't want to use the terminal. I don't think mattthumper is saying no terminal, ever. I think he's just saying minimal terminal usage, if I really need it to set something up, fine.
With that said: I honestly thing you'd be best served by running one of the large desktop environments on your machine. OpenBSD has all three: Gnome3, KDE4, and Xfce4. Unfortunately, though, there is no GUI package manager, so you will need the terminal to install/uninstall packages. Code:
# pkg_add gnome # pkg_add kde4 # pkg_add xfce |

Matt,
Have you tried this? xfce4-mixer I believe it's just what you're looking for. It's a simple graphical volume control for OpenBSD. -Matt |

Solved. Thanks Matt
