[SOLVED] I can't adjust audio volume

I have installed Dragora in my Toshiba Satellite A-300 1TM laptop and I cannot adjust the volume from the control button!!!

Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!!

I fixed the multimedia keys on my Dell Latitude e5420 by installing volti and adding it to the autostart.sh in my openbox install. ymmv.

My unofficial build is here http://gungre.ch/dragora/repo/kelsoo...2.3-i486-1.tlz if it's of any use.

Hmm, I have the Xfce DM, but it is a start... Thanks for volti... I see it has some dependencies here... I'll give it a shot!! And post the results!!

But you can bind keys to XfCE4 directly! Open "keyboard settings" and on the application shortcuts tab add an entry for the key to increase volume as "amixer set Master 5%+ -q" and another one to decrease volume as "amixer set Master 5%+ -q". To mute add an entry as "amixer set Master toggle -q"

Hey DJ Shaji you rock!! In the decrease volume you have a typo: it needs a - (minus) after the 5%. But, man this is working like a charm!! Thanks a lot!!
