Henry,
xmms doesn't usually set the volume. Nor is the volume set in a config
file - its essentially a state in the driver.
Just use a tool like aumix (or amixer for alsa) to change volume levels:
aumix -v50,0
play_sound
aumix -v0,50
play_sound
The -w option is also handy, depending on your sound setup (changing PCM
as opposed to master volume).
Cheers,
- Simon

Hello
I am using xmms with alsa and using a shell script to play a series of sound
files at different amplitudes -by setting the volume level in the
~/.xmms/config file before running - ie:
volume_left=50
volume_right=0
However they play at full volume anyway and when I look in the config file
two new lines have been appended:
volume_left=100
volume_right=100
Evidently alsa is adding these lines in.
How do I stop it doing this or which alsa file does my shell script have to
modify to set the desired volume levels?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
