Hi,

Give amixer a try.  I'm not sure if it is installed by default on
centos, however it works as a command line mixer utility.

>From a command prompt, for example you can use:

amixer -c 0 scontrols

and it will print out a list of the controls (change the 0 for whatever
sound card you want to control if you  have multiple sound cards)

It should list all the options that you can control.

Then figure out which item you want to control from the list, and to set
it.  For example, to set the master output on my sound card at 80%
volume, I use:

amixer -c 0 sset 'Master' 80%

If you have a copy of alsamixer you should see its screen update to the
new setting, that way you can check if you've figured out the correct
command.

amixer --help 

will give you more information

also

man amixer

gives even more info.

Its a great command-line tool and can be easily scripted.
