How can i disable popup notification for volume control?

Hi,

First, sorry if my English hurts, I'm French. I did not find the answer to my question on French forums, that's why I try here.

I'd like to disable those big notifications on my screen every time I control the volume of the sound with my keyboard.

If it helps, I use Ubuntu 16.04 64bits.

Thank you very much for any help :slight_smile:

I don’t think there exist a config option you can use.
Closest think my searched yield was this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/532044/how-do-i-disable-the-sound-indicator-notification-bubbles

It involves changing the source code and recompiling the component responsible for sending those notifications – I wouldn’t advise it.

I tried NotifyOSDConfig but it doesn’t change this, it changes the little bubbles ont the top right corners.

I’ve never seen an option that does this neither. :confused: There is a way! This involves changing what the keyboard shortcuts do.

In the Keyboard Shortcuts options, disable the shortcuts for “Volume up” and “Volume down” by clicking on them and hitting Backspace.

At the bottom, create two new custom shortcuts with these commands:

  • Decrease Volume

      amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%-
    
  • Increase Volume

      amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%+
    

You can change 5% to a different number if you like.

Now bind the new commands to your multimedia keys. :slight_smile:
