pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -5%

# get current vol
STATUS=$(pactl list sinks | grep '^[[:space:]]Volume:' | \
    head -n $(( $SINK + 1 )) | tail -n 1 | sed -e 's,.* \([0-9][0-9]*\)%.*,\1,')

notify-send -h int:transient:1 "Volume" "$STATUS%" -t 1500 -r 999999

mute.sh

!/usr/bin/env bash

# mute toggle
pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle

# get status mute
STATUS=$(pactl list sinks | grep '^[[:space:]]Mute:' | \
    head -n $(( $SINK + 1 )) | tail -n 1 | sed -e 's,.* \([a-z]*\).*,\1,')

# show notify
notify-send -h int:transient:1 "Mute" "$STATUS" -t 1500 -r 999999

up.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# vol up
pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5%

# get current vol
STATUS=$(pactl list sinks | grep '^[[:space:]]Volume:' | \
    head -n $(( $SINK + 1 )) | tail -n 1 | sed -e 's,.* \([0-9][0-9]*\)%.*,\1,')

# show current vol
# -t: timeToShow | -r: notifyToReplace
notify-send -h int:transient:1 "Volume" "$STATUS%" -t 1500 -r 999999

Its only today that I came up with your script. What I did is create a panel in xfce4 with 3 laucchers pointing to your script. Thanks a lot.

I hope the screenshot will be visible. I haven't finished yet

I know it is a bit of asking too much but my idea would be assign the volume up hardware key to open a sliding volume up and down without the mute fonction. Could you please point me to what would be the steps to achieve that. Thank you again

@souibes Have a good day 👌
