I've encountered a problem while trying to adjust the speaker volumes on my Lenovo X13S laptop, which uses the SC8280XP-LENOVO-X13S sound card. My goal is to increase the volume for the "SpkrRight PA Volume" and "SpkrLeft PA Volume" controls without using GUI tools like alsamixer. I prefer to use command-line tools for this task. Today, I had to launch text-GUI after turning on the computer and repeatedly switching controls roughly 100 times to find the two controls to adjust. Initially, I tried to use amixer with the -c 0 option to specify the sound card and sset to set the volume levels. However, the command returned an error stating "Invalid card number '1'." Upon running aplay -l, I discovered that my sound card is indeed listed as card 0. Here are the steps I followed and the issues I encountered: List Controls: I listed all controls for the sound card with amixer -c 0 controls and found the controls for the right and left speaker volumes (SpkrRight PA Volume and SpkrLeft PA Volume) do exist. Set Volume: Attempting to set the volume with amixer -c 0 sset 'SpkrRight PA Volume' 90% resulted in an error: "amixer: Unable to find simple control 'SpkrRight PA Volume',0". Use of Numid: After that, I tried using the numeric identifier (numid) for the controls: amixer -c 0 cset numid=105 90%. This time, the command failed with a different error: "amixer: control.c:427: snd_ctl_elem_info: Assertion `ctl && info && (info->id.name[0] || info->id.numid)' failed. Aborted (core dumped)". I have verified that ALSA and my system are up to date, and I use Ubuntu 23.10 (arm64). I am seeking advice on how to resolve this issue, whether it be a workaround, a different command or tool I should use, or any configuration changes that might help. Thank you for your assistance and the output of amixer -c 0 controls is provided below: -- numid=134,iface=CARD,name='Headphone Jack' numid=133,iface=CARD,name='Mic Jack'
