pamixer: Use the allow boost option to increase, decrease, or set the volume above 100%.
$ pamixer --set-volume ${105} --allow-boost
try on your machine
The command "pamixer --set-volume ${105} --allow-boost" is used to set the volume of the audio output using the PulseAudio sound server.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "pamixer": It is the name of the command-line utility that is used to control the audio volume in the PulseAudio sound server.
- "--set-volume": This option is used to specify that we want to set the volume to a specific value.
- "${105}": Here, "${105}" is a placeholder that represents the volume level you wish to set. In this case, it is set to 105, which indicates setting the volume to 105% of the normal maximum volume.
- "--allow-boost": This option allows the volume to exceed 100%. By default, PulseAudio limits the volume to 100%, but with this option, it enables the boost function to increase the volume further.
So, when you run this command, it tells PulseAudio to set the volume to 105% of the maximum volume, allowing the use of the boost function if available.
