What is the preferred method to override defaults and set the internal speaker (to 75%) and the internal mic (to 75%) on an iMac running Sierra? Does anyone have an example if either a configuration profile or script?

thanks in advance

I only know of the Applescript command, or osascript from the shell. The following will set the volume to 75%.

osascript -e "set volume output volume 75"

I don't know if there's a config profile that would do this. I have a feeling not.

Edit: Corrected command to a more up to date version
