[quote]If you’re a music fan like me, you’re listening to music almost all the time whilst browsing the web/working/studying. Often an interuption requires you to quickly lower the volume or mute the music so that you can, for example listen to what a colleague has to say.
By default you have two options:
1. Move your mouse over the volume control applet and scroll
2. Hit whatever keyboard combination you have set to do the task
The reason I don’t like these two options are that they require me to look at the screen/keyboard, instead of looking at whoever’s talking to me, and when my laptop is closed (While I’m “studying”) I have to first open the lid to do this.
In old Ubuntu you had a third option, move the volume control applet to one of the corners. Then you could simply move your mouse to that corner with a flick of the wrist, and scroll to change the volume.[/quote]

Awesome.
You may want to use 'amixer -c 0 sset Master 5+' and 'amixer -c 0 sset Master 5-' though.
I've got buttons on my mouse to do that :c00l:
But still pretty cool hack/trick/thingie.
Awesome.
My laptop has an external volume control. :c00l:

I have a laptop. the Volume buttons are easy to push for this purpose. Cool concept for a desktop though, but I have a volume knob on there as well, so...
I know my keyboard by heart. I use shortcut keys.
