pamixer: Set the volume to 75% on the default sink.
$ pamixer --set-volume ${75}
try on your machine

This command is used to set the volume level to a specific value.

The command starts with "pamixer," which is a command-line utility to control the PulseAudio sound system on Linux.

The "--set-volume" option is used to specify that we want to set the volume level.

The "${75}" is a placeholder for the desired volume level value, in this case, 75. It is enclosed in curly brackets and preceded by a dollar sign, which represents a variable in the command line. The value you specify in this placeholder will be the volume level that is set.

So the overall purpose of this command is to set the volume to a specific level, in this case, 75.
