Hi,
I'm using Mint Linux 14 and the onboard soundcard/speaker. I'm trying to find a way to control the volume from the command line/cron, so that users can't turn the volume up too loud.
Anyone got any ideas around this?
Many thanks,
Simon

If it's for work machines, ok, but it's not going to be very helpful if it's for a home machine. Videos are notorious for having wildly differing volume levels. Nevertheless, this is what you need:
