Set volume to 150% permanently and map volume keys from 0-150%
I have a two fold issue since many years. I hope to find a fix now. I'm on Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 and yet again the volume levels are very low.
- Allow louder than 100% option is gone from the sound settings in Ubuntu Budgie 18.04. So I worked around it using
pactl set-sink-volume 0 150%
- Whenever I hit the volume up/down key, the volume resets to 100%. Then I will have to do
pactl set-sink-volume 0 150%again to get louder volume from the speakers.
How do I make, say
150%permanent and map the volume keys to work from0-150%

You can look into editing/etc/pulse/default.pa. I haven't used it before, so cannot offer any guidance.

You should have a setting called Over-Amplification in Settings > Sound. Turning it on and adjusting the volume slider above it will only get you to 100%, but you can still adjust beyond 100% by using either your keyboard's volume buttons if available, or adjusting the volume slider in the corner of your screen.

No such setting. Screenshots, if any ? Are you on an older version of Ubuntu ? Older versions had the slider you are referring to. And even they don't work with the volume UP key. Volume UP sends it to only 100% not the max.

The problem is pavucontrol works, but when I turn down the volume below 100% and then try to turn it back up it won't go beyond 100%. Now that is the problem I am trying to solve.
