FYI - Beginning with macOS 10.12 Sierra, which was the version that was released with the first TouchBar MacBook Pros, VoiceOver included the commands VO + minus/equals to raise and lower the system volume. (These are the 2 keys located to the left of the Backspace/Delete key). Note that there is no alternate VO key command to mute/unmute, which can be done via the TouchBar. When the system sound is muted, either raising or lowering the volume will unmute.
