I use audacious, but regardless the problelm is with playerctl. two terminals react the same so I doubt it's an issue of character escapement of whatever... I tried - too and it reads the same. playerctl version v2.4.1

As you have found, I cannot use volume -0.5 because that looks like a short flag. Instead, the syntax is like volume 0.5-.
