This repo is just a fork that switches pulse for amixer

This script enables dunst (or any other notification daemon) to send traditional volume notifications (screenshots below). Inspired by https://gist.github.com/sebastiencs/5d7227f388d93374cebdf72e783fbd6a

This differs from the one linked because it uses amixer and doesn't require dunstify, thus making this useable with any notification daemon.

The script requires the faba icon pack to be installed (otherwise icons won't be displayed) and relies on this script (https://github.com/vlevit/notify-send.sh/blob/master/notify-send.sh), it has to be placed in the same directory as volume.sh. This patched notify-send.sh is necessary because by default notify-send doesn't allow replacing existing notifications. To use the script place volume.sh and notify-send.sh in the same folder and either type in a terminal

/path/to/volume.sh up to increase the volume

/path/to/volume.sh down to decrease the volume

/path/to/volume.sh mute to mute the volume

Or bind the desired functionality to your key combination of choice.
