Re: [SLUG] Bluetooth a2dp volume control????
I have seen this and have this same issue with my USB headset and when I used to use my A2DP headset, the only way I found to play with the volume was with the buttons on the side that plugged into the gnome sound manager. So maybe alsa-config? On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 1:06 PM, Peter Chubb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hi, >I've bought myself a bluetooth headset and am streaming audio > to it using mplayer.

[SLUG] Bluetooth a2dp volume control????
Hi, I've bought myself a bluetooth headset and am streaming audio to it using mplayer. How do I control its volume? Usually, hitting / or * decreases or increases the volume, but mplayer thinks it's sending at 0% volume and it's still a little too loud! The hardest part about making this thing to work at all, BTW, was getting it to peer. If you don't use a gui desktop, you seem to be in trouble. And most of the howtos aren't helpful -- they all assume you have the GTK libraries or have Gnome or something, or are so old that the codebase has moved on a lot. The trick is to put the MAC/Pin pair into /var/lib/bluetooth/DONGLEMAC/pincodes where DONGLEMAC is the mac address of the bluetooth adapter. -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au ERTOS within National ICT Australia -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
