What's the right way of displaying system sound volume in conky ? I don't have /dev/mixer file, and without an external command, is it possible ?

I use ${exec amixer -c 0 get Master | grep Mono:}.

This, of course, assumes that you use ALSA (which is quite possibly a good guess). – Chris Down Dec 20 '13 at 11:35

to retain only the percentage and retain it only when it's unmuted: ${exec amixer -c 0 get Master | grep Mono: | grep -v off | grep -oP '\d+%'} – tinyfiledialogs Dec 26 '23 at 11:29

I tried the above solution(s) and neither worked for me, I was able to get it working with a variation:
${exec amixer get Master | grep -o -P -m1 "[0-9][0-9](?=\%\])"}
This works on conky 1.12 with amixer version 1.2.8, however.
