Hi everyone! I've been using Debian for a couple months and the volume of my computer tends to be too low, so I like to go over 100% but I have to use the graphical tool to do it.
I've been reading and I can change the volume with amixer but it doesn't let me go over 100%. On the other hand, I've seen solutions with "pactl", but that command does nothing in my computer.
I'm using Debian 9 with Gnome. A Lenovo HP laptop.
Thank you !

Re: Using amixer to go beyond 100%
The PulseAudio volume control is called pavucontrol not pactl.

Re: Using amixer to go beyond 100%
You can install pasystray and use your mouse scroll wheel to crank it up to 11. Actually, it has no upper limit as far as I can tell.
The PA volume control will let you go up to 150%, I think.

Re: Using amixer to go beyond 100%
Amixer is for plain ALSA, If you are using pulseaudio, use it's tools (pavucontrol etc.)
If you're not using pulseaudio, look into ALSAs softvol plugin, specifically the max_dB parameter. Something like this perhaps.

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.
