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.
could you send the output of ``mixerctl -v'', then adjust
the volume (using mixerctl) and then send the output of
another ``mixerctl -v'' ?
Does a power cycle change anything?

Changes, but volume remains unchanged.
Power cycling has no effect
Volume can be changed with mplayer keys, but not from mixerctl
