pamixer: pulseaudio command line mixer

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.

Features

• 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

Dependencies

• libpulse
• CLI11

You need the headers as well (“-dev” packages for Debian).

Installation

• 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

      --default-source      select the default source
      --get-default-sink    get default sink
      --get-volume          get the current volume
      --get-volume-human    get the current volume percentage or the string "muted"
      --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%
      --set-limit arg       set a limit for the volume
      --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
