cmd
is useful if you need to pass additional arguments to amixer. For instance, users with multiple sound cards may define cmd = "amixer -c X"
in order to set amixer with card X
.
In case you are using an HDMI output, and mute toggling can't be mapped to Master
, define togglechannel
argument as your S/PDIF device. You can know the correct ID device with amixer
's scontents
command.
For instance, if card number is 1 and S/PDF number is 3:
$ amixer -c1 scontents
