This Python script provides command-line control over your system's volume. It uses the amixer command to interact with the system's sound settings.

Here are the main functions in the script:

get_timestanp(): Returns the current timestamp as an integer.

get_volume_master(): Returns the current master volume level.

get_if_muted(): Checks if the master volume is muted. Returns True if muted, False otherwise.

data_exists(data_path): Checks if the data file exists. If not, it creates a new one with default values.

save_data(data): Saves the provided data into a JSON file.

load_data(data_path): Loads data from the JSON file.

cli_command(command): Executes a command in the terminal and returns its output.

notify(message, id, ttl): Sends a desktop notification with the provided message, id, and time-to-live (ttl).

main(data_path, name, standard_ttl, standard_ttl_s): The main function that parses command-line arguments and performs the appropriate action (raise, lower, mute).

You can use this script from the command line as follows:

To raise the volume: python main.py raise [amount] To lower the volume: python main.py lower [amount] To mute/unmute the volume: python main.py mute Replace [amount] with the desired volume change amount. You can use % number values or just normal numbers.

This script requires Python 3 and the amixer command available on your system. It has been tested on Linux systems.

This script directly interacts with the system's sound settings. Please use it responsibly.
