Mute volume

osascript -e "set volume with output muted"

Unmute volume

osascript -e "set volume without output muted"

osascript -e "output muted of (get volume settings)"

I use the alt - m keystroke with skhd to mute/unmute via a bash script using these commands :

#!/bin/bash
current=$(osascript -e "output muted of (get volume settings)")
if [ "$current" == "true" ]; then
osascript -e "set volume without output muted"
else
osascript -e "set volume with output muted"
fi
