For the record: This is how I now control (and mute) the volume using XF86 keys in Fluxbox: XF86AudioLowerVolume :ExecCommand if amixer get Master | grep "Front Left: Playback 0 " > /dev/null; then amixer set Master mute; else amixer set Master 3- dB; fi XF86AudioRaiseVolume :ExecCommand if amixer get Master | grep "Front Left: Playback 0" | grep "off" > /dev/null; then amixer set Master unmute; else amixer set Master unmute 3+ dB; fi any improvements are welcome, it works for me now! thanks again!
