Ossvol - an oss volume/muting control script

I recently had to switch to oss due to issues with alsa. My only problem with oss was an inability to incorporate it into my awesome configuration... even when i got it to display properly, I couldn't get it to mute (ossmix doesn't natively allow you to mute, how screwed up is that??). Hence, ossvol was born.
Visit us here for more info!
ossvol is also available via the AUR.
usage: ossvol [option] [argument]
Options:
-i, --increase - increase volume by [argument]
-d, --decrease - decrease volume by [argument]
-t, --toggle - toggle mute on and off
-h, --help - display help

Well, I'll admit that I borrowed the about portion of the script (with a little modification) from your changevol script, although given that changevol is written in python, built for alsa, and intended to show a volume bar while ossvol is a bash script, built for oss, and intended to add mute functionality to oss while displaying nothing, I'd say that the similarities end there.

The volume slide control on my 4s has disappeared when I watch videos and listen to music. Any suggestion on how to get it back? I've tried the recommendations in the manual

The volume slide control on my iPhone 4S has disappeared when I play videos, music and YouTube. I've tried the recommendations in manual, to no avail. Any suggestions?

Your phone still thinks it is plugged into the stereo. I don't remember how to solve this but perhaps you can search through the forum or maybe one of the members here will jump in on how to switch the playback to speakers.

How can i rectify this ...?
Many thanks in advance.....

Hi Ark,
Have a look at the file $ORACLE_HOME/lib/stubs/libc.so (8.0.6 Home)
This is a text file containing the location of the stub libraries for the 8.0.6 Home. This location may have changed from the original env to the cloned environment, and is not updated by Rapidclone.
After changing to the correct location, see if you can relink the application binaries using Adadmin.
Hope that helps
Bruno.

Lower volume button control not working help?

Lower volume button control not working help?

If you only restored from backup, restore to factory defaults/new iPod. If you then still have the problem it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

For best sound quality should volume be controlled from iPad or BlueTooth speaker?

For best sound quality when listening to music, should the volume be controlled from iPad or from a connected Bluetooth speaker?

For good sound quality, flat response is the most important thing. Take a look at qloud, http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34412, and find yourself a very good microphone.
Then you will probably want to set a global equalizer for your machine. You can try with alsa, http://krustev.net/w/articles/Global_eq … _for_ALSA/.
If ALSA isn't finegrained enough, jack has a lot more flexibility, except for the fact that it doesn't allow you to set default output device, so you will need a helper application to redirect all output connections to your equalizer.
Well, i would say this is quite subjective. Untouched signal is superior to any equalized sound in my opinion, but i know this debate is never satisfying

Have lost all audio with our pavilion g6, checked volume, audio controls, tried rebooting no luck

paviliong6, windows 7 home,just purchased in july, 2011. AUdio stopped working, including output thru dvd, headphones, etc, have tried rebotting, volume,audio controls, accessories, etc. not luck. ran virus scan, came clean. any help?

Hi,
If this has just happened recently, try running Windows System Restore. If you have Norton Internet Security installed, you will need to disable Nortons Tamper Protection as shown in Step 2, on the link below.
http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20091112171719EN&ln=en_US
Once you've done this, shut down the PC. Windows System Restore is usaully best run in Safe Mode. Tap away at f8 as you start the PC to enter Windows Recovery Console. Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and hit enter. When this has loaded, from the Start Menu, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and launch System Restore. Pick a restore point at least 24 hours before the audio issue and then proceed with the restore process. When complete, Windows will reboot as normal.

Grid Control Scripts and SNMP Traps

Hi guys,
Does anyone knows here where i could find some good Grid Control Scripts for monitoring purposes?
Thanks!

The database monitoring is done by GC (thats a reason why GC is used) and you can create a SMS if something is wrong with the DB.
If you create backups using RMAN a lot of backup info can be found in the repository. So you can create a User Defined Metric checking for instance if the last backup date is before sysdate -1. If yes you will see a warning/alert.

Volume Slider Control

I am experiencing this problem quite frequently. When I enter the iPod on my iPhone 3GS and try to either turn the volume up or down by sliding the volume control it turns the music up for a split second then springs back to where it originally was (as in position on the slider bar). I can turn the volume up using the buttons on the side of the phone but would like to know why the volume slider control isn't working and if there is a way to resolve this issue.

Reset your iPhone by holding the sleep and home buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo (you must ignore the Slide to Power Off slider). That should take care of things.

How do I start up iMac with volume muted?

I have a 21.5-inch, Late 2012, 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7, OS X 10.9.2 (13C64) and would like it to start up with the volume muted. I am NOT talking about the START-UP chime. I am talking about the Volume icon on the top of the screen showing no volume lines or Mute. Or System Preferences showing Mute. So, if I send an email there is no sound. If I play a song there is no sound. I want to have to turn on the volume to hear a sound after the computer starts.
Is there a way I can make the computer start up in this state without muting the computer after it starts?
I have tried going into System Preferences, Sound, Output and Sounds Effects, Mute. Not Muted on restart or logging out and back in.
Any suggestions. Terminal command? Or is this not possible?
Aloha

I have muted it before shutting down and it starts up NOT muted. Doesn't work. Putting it to sleep could work except the USB ports stay active and that keeps other accessories active.
Surely there is a better way? Come on this is an Apple. There must be a way. :=)

Broke volume remote control = means buy a new speaker system??

I was bought a speaker system Creative 7.1 T7700 in 2004. After year 6 months, the volume remote control stop functioning correctly. When i adjust volume, the output sound is not stable, some times get loud and quiet. My speaker already out of warranty. Who can repair the volume remote control? If Creaitve can repair it, how much will be charge on it's Why Creative don't sell this accessories? Because of this, make me stopping purchase Creative product........................................... ......

Daniel
Thank you. But i don't where is the knob or what is knob? It's inside the remote control or the plug pluging into the speaker?
Why they do not replace a new one to me? Because of this is about their products quality problem.
When i searching wired remote, not just me have this problem.
But Creative change a replacement to them.

ITunes volume control script

With the included scripts in Mainstage, I was surprised not to find one for controlling iTunes volume.
This would allow me to mix the iTunes volume from the Axiom 61 sliders while in Mainstage fullscreen.
Does anyone know of an AppleScript for this purpose?
Thanks in advance

Well, I hope someone can find a solution to my issue. (itunes sound volume using sliders)
Thanks for your input guys.
My knowledge of Applescript is very basic, however, I did find a script for changing the itunes sound volume using buttons.
One button increases and the next button decreases the sound volume a little bit at a time.
Here are the scripts. I modified one I found online. There may be some unnecessary lines.
on action(parameter)
tell application "iTunes"
if the sound volume is less than 95 then
set sound volume to (sound volume + 5)
else
set sound volume to 0
end if
end tell
end action
and to decrease use the one below.
on action(parameter)
tell application "iTunes"
if the sound volume is greater than 5 then
set sound volume to (sound volume - 5)
else
set sound volume to 0
end if
end tell
end action
A script for changing the itunes sound volume in Mainstage using a slider from my Axiom 61 is still what I'm after.
Anybody??

Parliant Phone Valet volume control script

I have been using Phone Valet for several weeks and love it. One of the cool features is an Applescript which fades out the volume on iTunes whenever I am on the line. Unfortunately, I use internet radio a lot, and the mute doesn't work there. Parliant has a sample template for creating new scripts:
on handlehookstatus(isOffhook, lineName, numLinesOffhook)
-- place your AppleScript here --
end handlehookstatus
which I have used to successfully mute the system, but the volume stays muted when I hang up the phone. I am looking for help on a script that would read the current volume and mute the system when the phone was active, then return the system to its original volume when the phone was inactive. Parliant's website has sample scripts, but none will do what I'm looking for. This is beyond my skill set, and any help would be appreciated.

Alas, no luck.. But scrolling up from 'muted' should have the same effect as middle-clicking, at least I assume both actions activate the same unmute function somewhere in the code..
EDIT: For now I'm going to use volwheel. But.. please don't hesitate if you know the answer bacause I like xfce4-mixer's simplicity.

Volume muting by itself

my volume keeps muting by itself..yes i checked the button on the side...its done it a few times..i even check setting and it shows the volume up all the way...turning the phone off and back on seems to fix it..but then it happens again...what gives?

Phone was fine after the wipe cache partition until this Wednesday when it really had problems. Lost sound a few times during the day, which is an issue when you are using Google Navigation to get to an unknown place and the directions just stop being announced but the screen is still working through the step by step stuff.
End result was I did a factory reset Wednesday night and have been ok at the 3 day mark. Hope it continues to work.

Volume and Control Issues

Just got two new units a week or so ago, both my husband and I have had issues with sweat (apparently) causing the volume to suddenly increase and then the contol no longer works until it dries out. Given the location where apple dediced to place the controls, you would think they would be sealed and water tight.

That does sound like a major problem as I mainly use my older shuffle in gym. My biggest problem is that I can't wear the type of ear buds that Apple supplies , I need the type that go in to the canal like shures' so can't think about getting the new shuffle. Can't find any place to write Apple direct about it.
