   Hi Adel,

   Let me ask you, do you enable hidden files show in your file manager?
   Can you see any files beginning with dot in your home folder using PCManFM? If no, you can press Ctrl+H to toggle hidden files show.

   The commands for muting are
   amixer-c 0 sset Master, 0 toggle
   the command to increase the volume is
   amixer-c 0 sset Master 1 + unmute cap
   another control to decrease the volume
   amixer-c 0 sset Master 1 - unmute cap

   the problem is that the media keys often have codes not standerd and openbox not identify them.
   To install xev occurs with tazpkg-gi xorg-xev
   type from the terminal xev | egrep-o "keycode. * \)"
   then press the media keys, if the terminal scroll code keys ex.
   keycode 176 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)
   nosymbol not mapped, so do not be set directly, and it gets more complicated. : (
