pamixer: Increase the volume on default sink by 5%.

pamixer

$ pamixer --increase ${5}

try on your machine

The command "pamixer --increase ${5}" is used to increase the volume level by a certain amount.

Here's what each part of the command means:

"pamixer" is the name of the command-line tool that interacts with PulseAudio, which is a sound server commonly used in Linux systems.
"--increase" is an option or flag provided to the "pamixer" command. It tells "pamixer" that the following argument will specify the increase in volume.
"${5}" is the fifth argument or parameter passed to the command. "${5}" is a variable that refers to the fifth argument passed to the script or command. It means that the value of the fifth argument will be used to determine the amount by which the volume should be increased.

For example, if you run the command "pamixer --increase 10", it will increase the volume by 10 units. The actual value will depend on the specific range or scale of volume levels supported by your system.
