Volume change intervals?

Post by obscenelyappropriate »

Okay, so whenever I press the volume up or down buttons on my laptop, the volume changes by 6% of max. I know Linux is open-source, so there must be some way I can change that, my question is how? I want to make it change by more around 2% or 4% because sometimes a jump by 6% takes it from quieter than I want to louder than I want or vice versa. Could someone please give me step-by-step instructions as to how to do this? Thanks.

Please post this details first:

1. Version and the architecture (32-bit, 64-bit) of Linux Mint
2. Desktop environment (Cinnamon, KDE, MATE, etc.)

I tried to change the volume step with gconf-editor.
Unfortunately, there is some bug in gconf-editor that doesn't make volume step configurable anymore. Look at the link below.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=650371

There are also workarounds on this link below (take a look at people's comments).

I'll try again later to find solution for Cinnamon.
Perhaps the volume step is configurable on other desktop environments (like MATE through mate-conf-editor).

EDIT:

I tried to find a solution for Cinammon but no luck.
