audio – Change Default Master Volume Control to “PCM” in alsamixer on Linux Mint
I am running Linux Mint and whenever I use my system’s hardware volume controls (e.g., volume up/down buttons), it adjusts the “PCM 1” level in alsamixer. However, I want it to adjust the “PCM” level instead.
Here’s the output from amixer -c 1
which shows the available controls:
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 74
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 74 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]
Front Right: Playback 74 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]
Simple mixer control 'PCM',1
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 74
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 74 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]
Front Right: Playback 74 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]
Simple mixer control 'Mic',0
Capabilities: cvolume cvolume-joined cswitch cswitch-joined
Capture channels: Mono
Limits: Capture 0 - 74
Mono: Capture 74 [100%] [0.00dB] [on]
I have tried modifying PulseAudio’s default.pa configuration, but this resulted in loss of audio.
I am looking for a solution that doesn’t involve custom scripts or keybindings. I’d prefer to have the standard master volume change “PCM” directly.
Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated!
