How to change volume via terminal in ubuntu over 100%?

Question

linux

I'm trying to increase the volume with the command in the terminal:
amixer -D pulse sset Master 140%
, but it only increases to 100%, although I can increase it to 150% from the keyboard. Increase up to 150% unlocked. This must be done through the terminal, well, or with a python script.

Answer 1

LANG=C pactl info | grep 'Default Sink' | awk '{print $3}'

We get information about PulseAudio in English, look for the line with the default output device, take the third word from there, this is its name.
We pass the received name to the volume change command. Note that the first call to 140% will only raise it to 100%, and the second one to 140%.
But in general:
man pactl

Answer 2

if you write a number above 100, then just increase the volume to 100%

Answer 3

ubuntu 20.04 Nazar Mokrinsky Nazar Mokrinsky wrote correctly, raised up to 250%, did not check further, it depends on the overload capacity of the iron on the mother ...
