If you want to open whole audio mixer in terminal you can user alsamixer. Then you'll get screen with some colored sliders. You can adjust their values with arrows on your keyboard. It looks like this: enter image description here

But if you want to change volume with single command, you can use:

  • amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%+ - This will increase you master volume by 5%.
  • amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%- - This will decrease volume by 5%
  • amixer -D pulse sset Master 50% - And this will set volume to 50%

You can find topic simmilar to yours here if you want to get more information: Terminal command to set audio volume?

I think it's pretty easy and it works for me. I hope this helped you :)
