pamixer: Decrease the volume on a source by 5%.

pamixer

$ pamixer --decrease ${5} --source ${ID}

try on your machine

This command is using the "pamixer" command-line tool.

Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:

pamixer: This is the main command itself. It is used to control the PulseAudio sound server.
--decrease: This is an option/flag that tells the pamixer command to decrease the volume.
${5}: This is a variable placeholder for argument number 5. It suggests that when executing this command, you should replace ${5} with the actual value you want to use.
--source: This is another option/flag that specifies that the following argument refers to a specific audio source.
${ID}: This is another variable placeholder for argument number ID. It's similar to ${5}; you need to replace ${ID} with the actual value of the ID you want to use.

In summary, this command is used to decrease the volume of a specific audio source specified by the ${ID} variable by an amount specified by the ${5} variable.
