Ahhhh... thank you so much @rcrsn51 ... now i can finally adjust my Puppy logins without having to reboot to Debian every single time!

I'd suggest to stay on topic, this is about Puppy and e.g. DebianDogs, KL's are not.

Re: YRadio Internet Radio Player

@Majestic

Also changed the volume code, will use amixer if exist. Please test.

For playing audio only, I often use Deadbeef : https://deadbeef.sourceforge.io/download.html
For video playing (or audio too) , mostly MPV (or VLC). edit: SMplayer is nice too.
