pamixer is like amixer but for pulseaudio. It can control the volume levels of the sinks.
Also, this project can provide you a small C++ library to control pulseaudio.
- Get the current volume of the default sink, the default source or a selected one by his id
- Set the volume for the default sink, the default source or any other device
- List the sinks
- List the sources
- Increase / Decrease the volume for a device (using gamma correction optionally)
- Mute or unmute a device
- libpulse
- boost-program_options
From source:
Get the source:
git clone https://github.com/cdemoulins/pamixer.git
Compile:
make
And use it, no install command for now:
./pamixer --help Allowed options: -h [ --help ] help message --sink arg choose a different sink than the default --source arg choose a different source than the default --default-source select the default source --get-volume get the current volume --set-volume arg set the volume -i [ --increase ] arg increase the volume -d [ --decrease ] arg decrease the volume -t [ --toggle-mute ] switch between mute and unmute -m [ --mute ] set mute --allow-boost allow volume to go above 100% --gamma arg (=1) increase/decrease using gamma correction e.g. 2.2 -u [ --unmute ] unset mute --get-mute display true if the volume is mute, false otherwise --list-sinks list the sinks --list-sources list the sources
