Increase and Decrease Volume in Linux CLI

Increase and Decrease Volume in Linux CLI

(Tested working on Slackware 13.1-13.37 x86_64 bit)

at terminal type:

 (increase volume)

$ amixer set Master 5+ 

 (decrease volume)

$ amixer set Master 5-  

(instant max loudest volume allowable)

$ amixer set Master 100+ 

misc.

(mute/unmute volume switch)

$ amixer set Master toggle   

* Note: actually this should work for most any linux distro as long as it has alsa amixer.
