Bug #: 42773 Summary: pactl does not turn down volume Classification: Unclassified Product: PulseAudio Version: unspecified Platform: x86 (IA32) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: tools AssignedTo: pulseaudio-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: das...@web.de QAContact: pulseaudio-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org CC: lenn...@poettering.net When I'm using pactl to turn the volume up by 5% for example, it all works: r@MacBeth:~$ /usr/bin/pactl set-sink-volume 0 +5% but turning the volume down by 5% returns an error code: r@MacBeth:~$ /usr/bin/pactl set-sink-volume 0 -5% /usr/bin/pactl: invalid option -- 5 In the manpage, it is described as followed: set-sink-volume SINK VOLUME Set the volume of the specified sink (identified by its symbolic name or numerical index). VOLUME can be specified as integer (e.g. 2000, 16384), a linear factor (e.g. 0.4, 1.100), a percentage (e.g. 10%, 100%) or a decibel value (e.g. 0dB, 20dB). If the volume specification start with a + or - the volume adjustment will be relative to the current sink volume. So am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
