I was wonder if there is a way to create a hot-key to control PulseAudio app? Due to YouTube being in full screen and adjusting down the volume.

  • Are you using XFCE, or can add customizable keyboard shortcuts fairly easily? And you know that YouTube should accept the arrow up & down buttons to change it's volume? Or does YouTube change your desktop's "master" volume somehow?

I assume you want to control volume up and down with a key combination.



try adding these entries to All Settings->Keyboard->Shortcuts->Custom shortcuts by clicking +:



Volume down: amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%-



Volume up: amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%+



Assign the key combination you want by clicking on the above two entries.
