Description Nikita Zlobin 2024-07-14 21:11:37 UTC
sset command, issued to `amixer --stdin`, ignores external changes, e.g. by alsamixer. This problem is specific to simple mixer - cset is fine.

There's patch to fix problem, which I sent to direct amixer author "Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz>" (due to problems with email assigned to github account).
I just can't be sure he will react, so publishing there too (both 1.2.11 and 1.2.12 can take it).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run alsamixer and 'amixer --stdin' at same time.
2. Print 'sset Master 0+'
3. Change volume in alsamixer, repeat amixer last command.
Actual Results:  
Volume, reported by amixer, is same both times.

Expected Results:  
Volume, reported by amixer, should change second time.
