Volume up shortcut not working `/usr/bin/amixer set Master playback`

I used to use something like
/usr/bin/amixer set Master playback 2+
to increase/decrease volume but it seems to have stopped working after update and changing to GNOME3 from XFCE 4.10. Same in terminal, has the syntax changed?

In the console:
[jiewmeng@JM Nodebook]$ /usr/bin/amixer set Master playback 2-
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined penum
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 65536
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 21533 [33%] [on]
Front Right: Playback 21533 [33%] [on]
[jiewmeng@JM Nodebook]$ /usr/bin/amixer set Master playback 2-
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined penum
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 65536
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 21531 [33%] [on]
Front Right: Playback 21531 [33%] [on]
notice theres no change ... 33%. Oh then I did Ctrl+Alt+F2 to go into console. Then did the same with same results. Then did with sudo and it worked. It worked b4 without sudo? Maybe I messed up something? Btw, this happened after I did `sudo pacman -Syyu gnome`. Maybe it changed some config? Or maybe its the upgrades?

  • Volume keyboard shortcut not working (since upgrade to Snow Leopard)

    The following keyboard shortcut commands, when I have upgraded to OS 10.6 a couple of months ago, have stopped working:
    Command-Up Arrow
    Command-Down Arrow
    (They control the volume of the iTunes application itself)
    Apparently they still exist according to: http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/shortcuts.html
    I have the newest version of OS X and itunes, respectively: 10.6.2 and 9.0.2

    Try adding every drive to Spotlight's Privacy Pane in System Preferences>Spotlight, wait a few minutes & remove them, then wait a few hours/days to see if it's better.
    Though slower, in the intterim, you might try...

    Find Any File...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/30079/find-any-file
    I've actually disabled the worst Searh utility/Function I've ever seen on most of my Macs, just keep Spotlight active on a couple to try to assist with all it's problems.

    Hi Austin XQ,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your iPhone needs to be serviced.

  • Satellite U500 - The volume buttons do not work

    Hello
    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite U500 two days ago, and already having problems :(
    It has a touch sensitive control buttons, which includes the eco utility, media buttons, and volume control (+ and -)
    The volume buttons do not work, and sometimes the computer freezes upon touching them. Once I touch the -, it keeps turning the volume down until it reaches zero, and even if I turn it up using windows, it returns to zero (like if the button is still being pressed). The + one doesn't work at all.
    Please help. Any way to reinstalle their drivers ?
    The only solution I found is to disable them using HWSetup...

    Solved.
    I just had to uninstall the Toshiba Common Modules, and reinstalled them. It worked.
    I hope it doesn't happen again.

  • Lumia 720 volume down button not working

    Hey buddies, I'm using lumia 720 and often i get this volume down button not working.
    I changed the button by giving it in nokia care for 3times and still im facing the same problem.
    And also noticed that this is happening to most of the lumia 720's.
    so kindly look into it and rectify the problem as soon as possible.
    If there is any solution for this, kindly reply me.
    Thanks in advance...!

    Your only solution would be to return the unit back to nokia care for inspection,if there is a recurring issue with this im sure nokia would be aware of it now,and it could be a slight manufacturing defect which again would be looked into.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
    Now using the Lumia 1520

  • CMD+ shortcuts not working in Dreamweaver CS3

    I'm have a very strange issue with CMD+ keyboard shortcuts
    not working in Dreamweaver CS3 on OSX 10.5. These actions are
    working from the menus (i.e., copy, cut, paste, etc.). CMD+
    shortcuts work in other CS3 apps. I've searched this forum and
    googled up and down and found some references to issues like this
    with Dreamweaver 8, but nothing for CS3.
    Has anyone experienced this problem? I'm completely stumped.

    My concern wasn't with the navbar, but thanks for the headsup.
    The problem is that the link in the upper left hand corner, Suzie's Story, is a rollover image but it does not reveal the other image when the cursor goes over it.
                            <div id="topTabs1">
       <div align="center"><a href="http://www.google.com" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('suzie','','Images/Suzie's Story Tab_light.jpg',1)"><img src="Images/Suzie's Story Tab_black.jpg" alt="suzie" name="suzie" width="75" height="45" border="0" id="suzie" /></a></div>

  • PS5 Action Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working

    PS5 Action Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working -- Running 10.6.7 on a Mac Pro. Any suggestions?
    I've tried restarting, changing key combinations, etc. Nothing works and I'm wasting time using my mouse...
    Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    I had this problem too but using Windows 7. I tried resetting, renaming the shortcuts, swearing loudly, none of it worked. I found out it was a totally unrelated program, Xfinity Protection Suite, that was the culprit.  My virus protection program added it as an 'upgrade.'  AFter I uninstalled it everything was back to normal. Have you installed anything new onto your computer lately that could be interfering?

  • The ring switch and the volume botton do not work what is theproblem ?

    The ring switch and the volume bottons do not work, what is the reason?

    When you say they don't work, what are you trying to do? When you say the ring switch, I'm assuming you are referring to the mute switch that turns the ringer off/on? What troubleshooting have you tried?
    The standard troubleshooting procedures for the iPhone are:
    Power off/on
    Reset
    Restore, first from backup, then as a new phone.
    IF that doesn't help, then you make an appointment at the nearest Apple Genius Bar and have them see if there is a hardware issue.

  • Firefox beta 21.0 shortcuts not working os x 10.8.3

    All keyboard shortcuts not working.
    Keyboard shortcuts working in other apps eg LibreOffice
    Am using keyboard shortcut program ikey for OS X - but has worked with FF before.
    THanks

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • 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.

    Could you elaborate?
    F is the default shorcut for »Change Screen Mode« for me, so I’m not sure what you want with the qualifier keys.
