I have pipewire installed however I can't seem to turn my volume up or down.
Here is the output of wpctl status.

I just use alsamixer (and or function buttons, which do pretty much the same thing) for volume control.
It's good enough unless you want to adjust each application independently, at which point I think you need pulseaudio-compatible client. Also, wpctl help shows this:
set-volume ID VOL[%][-/+]

so `wpctl set-volume 52 100%` would max out your playback volume.

Code: Select all

│ * 52. Built-in Audio Analog Stereo [vol: 0.40]

Is rather complete is this respect, Gtk or Qt.

There may be equivalent package I'm not aware of, possibly on the TUI side of things.
