How can I adjust system volume from within XBMC?

While running XBMC, I can adjust the volume of the XBMC application itself. However, this volume is limited by the current system volume. For example, if the system volume is at 80% and XBMC is at 100%, I am effectively at 80% and cannot go higher. Or if the sound is too soft and needs a boost, I would normally increase the system volume beyond 100%.

XBMC takes over the whole screen, so the system volume is not accessible. Pressing the Super key brings up the dash and top menu, but clicking on it is difficult and inconsistent, and very quickly XBMC takes over the screen again.

How can I adjust the system volume without having to quit XBMC?

From within XBMC, install the XBMC Audio Mixer add-on.

Open the Audio Mixer.

Increase the Master volume to 100%. (Can't go beyond 100%, so if you want to boost the volume, you'll still need to do this before launching XBMC.)

(Though it would be nice to be able to map the appropriate keys to adjust the Master volume.)
