After upgrading to the latest -current as of Dec 9, I no longer have any control of sound output except within mplayer or cdio cdplay, etc. This makes it impossible to listen to a list of mp3s (or whatever) without ear grindingly loud output. As soon as next file starts, output cranks back up to default level, which is excessive.
I just moved this thread to misc, this is a problem apparently with mixerctl or other.
Mixerctl has no effect at all. Not even mute works.
