Here is mine : https://github.com/BenoitZugmeyer/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/awesome/volume.lua
I use the Vicious volume widget to display the volume level, and amixer to control it. Each time amixer is called, the widget is updated. I can control the volume by clicking (mute / unmute) or scrolling the widget. Media keys are bound like in your config (I don't know why I put the keycode instead the key name...) https://github.com/BenoitZugmeyer/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/awesome/input.lua#L74 -- Benoît Zugmeyer On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 6:11 AM, Daniel. <danielhi...@gmail.com> wrote: > I forget to say, that you need to add volume_wid to panel as in: > mywibox[s].widgets = { > { > mylauncher, > mytaglist[s], > mypromptbox[s], > layout = awful.widget.layout.horizontal.leftright > }, > mylayoutbox[s], > mytextclock, > battery_wid, > volume_wid, -- << VOLUME WIDGET > cpu_wid, > s == 1 and mysystray or nil, > mytasklist[s], > layout = awful.widget.layout.horizontal.rightleft > } > > > 2012/10/16, Daniel. <danielhi...@gmail.com>: >> When I start to use awesome my first concern was about audio >> handling.. just 2 simple tasks: >> 1.
