Please use pactl, included in pulseaudio-utils. 1. get the device name by; $ pactl list short sources In my case, the result is; 157 alsa_output.usb-D_M_Holdings_Inc._HD-AMP1-00.analog-stereo.monitor PipeWire s32le 2ch 384000Hz SUSPENDED then write settings in .bash_profile like this (I'm settting at 80%); pactl set-sink-volume alsa_output.usb-D_M_Holdings_Inc._HD-AMP1-00.analog-stereo 80% Regards. --- ┏━━┓彡 野宮 賢 mail-to: nomiya @ lake.dti.ne.jp ┃＼／彡 ┗━━┛ "No Windows, no gains!" ...
