what if i login as non root user, the upvol and downvol didn't work for me
if i try sudo amixer set Master 3+ null, on terminal it worked,

If anyone's wondering why the vol up and down aren't working for them, just use sudo amixer in place of amixer

for people that use pamixer instead of amixer

 static const char *upvol[]   = { "pamixer", "--increase", "3", NULL };
 static const char *downvol[] = { "pamixer", "--decrease", "3", NULL };
 static const char *mutevol[] = { "pamixer", "-t",              NULL };
