Set volume from terminal

Is it possible to set the audio volume using the terminal instead of clicking the speaker icon in the top bar?
The reason I want to do this is that my keyboard does not have volume increase/decrease buttons and I find it annoying to reach for the mouse.

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%

What is the different between "sset" and just "set". (I tried both, and both work)

@Venryxman amixer
suggests that the they are equivalent and that the "s" in "sset" stands for "simple". There's also a "cset" that sets card control contents.

If your system is using pulseaudio
you could use pactl
:
pactl set-sink-volume 0 +15%
or
pactl set-sink-volume 0 -5dB
though you could also specify an integer or a linear factor:
set-sink-volume SINK VOLUME [VOLUME ...]
Set the volume of the specified sink (identified by its symbolic name or numerical index). VOLUME can be speciâÂÂ
fied as an integer (e.g. 2000, 16384), a linear factor (e.g. 0.4, 1.100), a percentage (e.g. 10%, 100%) or a
decibel value (e.g. 0dB, 20dB). If the volume specification start with a + or - the volume adjustment will be
relative to the current sink volume. A single volume value affects all channels; if multiple volume values are
given their number has to match the sink's number of channels.

Note from arch linux wiki:pactl
commands that take negative percentage arguments will fail with an 'invalid option' error. Use the standard shell--
pseudo argument to disable argument parsing before the negative argument. e.g.pactl set-sink-volume 1 -- -5%

@JamieCockburn - I'm not sure when was that written but I use archlinux and there is absolutely no need for the additional--
with negative values (percentage, db, integers... they all work fine). In fact, it's quite the opposite: if I use--
as per the wiki e.g.pactl set-sink-volume 1 -- -3%
I getInvalid volume specification
.

I know this is an old one. Since Alsa and pulseaudio are so connected, this awnser from askubuntu: https://askubuntu.com/a/444183 helped me to manage the volume from both my main sound and the HDMI:
increase volume
amixer -q -D pulse sset Master 10%+
decrease volume
amixer -q -D pulse sset Master 10%-
toggle mute
amixer -q -D pulse sset Master toggle
Other amixer sset commands works too.

In OS X use the following:
# highest
osascript -e "set Volume 7"
# lowest
osascript -e "set Volume 1"
# middle
osascript -e "set Volume 3.5"
You can even set the volume to other fractional levels:
# 25%
osascript -e "set Volume 1.75"
Worth noting that you can also use the Mac volume buttons to change volume by fractional increments.

These are "more natural for human ear".
To get the master in the alsamixer units, use:
amixer -M get Master
To raise the volume by 5% in the alsamixer units, for example:
amixer -M set Master 5%+

you can also try pamixer
, a recent project that does exactly what you want. It is in the ArchLinux AUR repository with the same name.

In OS X use the following:
# highest
osascript -e "set Volume 7"
# lowest
osascript -e "set Volume 1"
# middle
osascript -e "set Volume 3.5"
You can even set the volume to other fractional levels:
# 25%
osascript -e "set Volume 1.75"
Worth noting that you can also use the Mac volume buttons to change volume by fractional increments.

These are "more natural for human ear".
To get the master in the alsamixer units, use:
amixer -M get Master
To raise the volume by 5% in the alsamixer units, for example:
amixer -M set Master 5%+

you can also try pamixer
, a recent project that does exactly what you want. It is in the ArchLinux AUR repository with the same name.
