Running Bionicpup64 8.0 x86_64 with i3 tiling window manager on my destkop PC.
I can't seem to adjust volume with keybinding of Alt-Up/Down. While music is playing entering amixer -q sset PCM 10%+ in the terminal to increase the volume works, but after editing the /root/.config/i3/config file with bindsym Alt+Up exec amixer -q sset PCM 10%+ saving and rebooting Alt+Up keycombo does not work. Same with volume down with Alt-Down... Any help will be appreciated.

@gychang
You should be setting the shortcut in JWM --> JWM hotkeys instead
EDIT: Ignore, hadn't read your post completely and that you are not using JWM

What program is playing the music?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
