I am using amixer command to get system audio volume. It is shown in the statusbar. For some reason when the X starts there is small delay (2-5s) before amixer return any output. Then it performs as expected. Currently I am using dwm, but when I tested i3wm there was no any delay at boot. pactl works in the same manner.

  • I guess this happens when PulseAudio needs to be started, so you cannot avoid it.
