I use a small shell script which reads the current volume and changes
it incrementally. As explained in the manpage you should specify your
own commands with the command-line options, for example:

i8kbuttons -u "aumix -v +10" -d "aumix -v -10" -m "aumix -v 0"

Thanks. I'm using something like this now, but I was hoping to find a
program that could toggle the mute rather than just dropping the
volume to 0. I'll figure out a work-around.


All the best,
