Setting the sound volume through NirCmd – Windows command line tool
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/14
I needed this during logon on Windows machines to set the sound volume: [WayBack] NirCmd – Windows command line tool set-soundvolume-25-percent.bat:
:: requires https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
:: 100% = 65535
nircmd setsysvolume 16000
Works on all Windows versions (7-10) I tested so far.

There are way sexier ways to do this, but they were all too convoluted for the time I had to get this to work.
