Increase Sound Above 100% in Pulseaudio

linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – Sometimes I'll be listening to a song at 100% volume, and it is not as loud as I would like it to be. I can run pavucontrol and pull the slider to make the output above 100%, but I prefer the command line and am looking for a way to do this from there. When I set the sound above 100, amixer get Master outputs that it is indeed above 100%, but if I try to set increase it using amixer set Master 5%+, it will not go above above 100, and it will go back down to 100 if it was over 100. I have also tried pamixer and pulseaudio_ctl. Is there a console based program for doing this, or do I have t (HowTos)

For the keys, have you tried adding them into your WMs key configuration?Set them to execute xbacklight with the '-inc <percent>' and '-dec <percent>' options respectively.Same for the volume keys, but get them to call 'amixer' like so: amixer -q -c 0 sset Master 5dB+ // increase master volume by 5 decibels amixer -q -c 0 sset Master 5dB- // decrea

How to set volume in xubuntu? 26 weeks 10 hours ago

I want to set via my Media Keys, so I first have to find out the terminal-command.

Outputs are:

amixer set Master 10%- amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Master',0

amixer scontrols Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0

amixer set 'IEC958' 50%- amixer: Invalid command!

How can i fix that?

what is the command to increase/decrease volume on hdmi amixer set master 5+ and amixer set master 5- have no effect on it

using xfce 4.10

Looking at the amixer man page, the mapping mentioned earlier can be invoked in amixer with the -M flag. So using amixer -M [...] works in the units that you see in alsamixer. These are "more natural for human ear".

Somtimes some sound/movie/music on my Ubuntu_12.04 system is at a very low volume by itself. Henceforth I increase the volume of the sound output. I can use the following setting (see screenshot)

It seems therefore that pulseaudio is able to increase the volume beyond the maximum that appears possible by merely using the "increase-volume" buttons of the machine.

crontab+mplayer alarm clock 45 weeks 1 day ago

I'm trying to run a alarm.sh using crontab, which play a song as an alarm at 6.15 am. I'm using amixer so that volume increases by 10% in every loop.

My script is the following.

I'm trying to set up a hardware mute button for my notebook running chrunchbang linux, I've got the key event handling working and pointing to a script like this :

curvol=$(amixer get Master | grep 'off') if ["$curvol" != ""] then amixer set Master unmute else amixer set Master mute fi

what happens is on pressing the button assigned, it will unmute if muted; but it won't mute if it isn't alrea

How can I set the volume keys and sound indicator to change only the master volume? Now when i change the volume from 0 to 100%, using the keyboard or the sound indicator, first I change the PCM level (master remains at ~0%) and then the master level (PCM remains at ~80%) and then the PCM level again for a bit, resulting in a non linear volume increase. The issue apeared when I first installed Ubu

As mentioned in the title, amixer appears to mute all audio channels but doesn't unmute them when run again. As a result, the media key I'd like to serve as mute/unmute only works to mute, and I need to go into alsamixer manually to unmute them.If I understood correctly, amixer sset Master toggle would only affect the master channel, when that obviously isn't what is happening.
