pamixer

A simple command-line mixer for PulseAudio.

• List all sinks and sources with their corresponding IDs:

pamixer --list-sinks --list-sources

• Set the volume to 75% on the default sink:

pamixer --set-volume {75}

• Toggle mute on a sink other than the default:

pamixer --toggle-mute --sink {ID}

• Increase the volume on default sink by 5%:

pamixer --increase {5}

• Decrease the volume on a source by 5%:

pamixer --decrease {5} --source {ID}

• Use the allow boost option to increase, decrease, or set the volume above 100%:

pamixer --set-volume {105} --allow-boost

• Mute the default sink (use `--unmute` instead to unmute):

pamixer --mute
