How do I change the sound volume via the command line?

If you're using alsa, then amixer will let you do it.

I'm not using ALSA.
I compiled my sound drivers directly in the kernel
But thnx anyway!

gonna read the linux sound howto.

Ah, okay. That howto will probably help.

I found this page which has a bunch of links to command line mixers. I've never used any of them, but some of them may work for you.

Good luck!

I think that aumix has a command line version.

I use smixer w/ lirc and my remote. Works like a charm.

does anyone know of a command line mixer with a mute-unmute function?

Ermixer seems to be pretty good to me.
I'm pretty sure it lets you mute... But AAAHHH!!! I can't check as I just noticed that for some reason my sound isn't working!! NOOO!!!! Must go fix!!!
