Is it possible to set the audio volume using the terminal?, instead of clicking the speaker icon in the topbar, the reason I want need to do this is because my keyboard does not have a volume increase/decrease buttons and I find it annoying to reach for the mouse.
Set volume from terminal
command line;audio;linux mint
For interactive usage you can use alsamixer. For scripting (e.g. binding to key combinations) take a look at amixer.alsamixer is included by default in most systems.To set the master volume use:# Gets a list of simple mixer controls$ amixer scontrols Then set it to the desired volume, as an example$ amixer sset 'Master' 50%
