New comment by FollieHiyuki on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/29576#issuecomment-802890154 Comment: I would suggest using external tools like `pulsemixer` or `pamixer` if you intend to use `pipewire` for it pulseaudio backend. They require some scripting to be on par with `pactl`, but I find it reasonably better than splitting `pulseaudio`.
