This module shows volume and mute state for ALSA mixers. Most of the module functionality should work as long as you are using an alsa backend, like pulseaudio-alsa.
If you use `pulseaudio` use the [`internal/pulseaudio`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/wiki/Module:-pulseaudio) module instead, even if it uses alsa as the backend.

**Do not use this module if you are using pulseaudio ❗️**
If you use `pulseaudio` use the

module instead, even if it uses alsa as the backend.
There are a number of issues when alsa is used to control the volume in a
pulseaudio server.
**NOTE**: This module requires the project to be built with ALSA support.
