I’ve used pavucontrol throughout pretty much all my Linux life. But it only controls pulseaudio side of things. I found that it does not work that well with pipewire.
For example if I do something like wpctl set-mute 56 toggle, the mute state is not reflected in any way in pavucontrol, but I see that the device is muted for example in alsamixer.
Any good pipewire-native volume control?
I haven’t had problems using pavucontrol with pipewire.
This is what I use, and then in my waybar I have a volume control that lets me right click to switch between speakers and headphones as my output device, middle click to mute current output device, and use scroll wheel to increase/decrease audio of selected output.
I just had to duckduckgo it lol https://github.com/saivert/pwvucontrol
yeah this one works better
Oh, this is being updated again. Neat.
The recommended way of installing pwvucontrol is through Flatpak.
It’s in Arch repo btw.
wiremixEasyEffects is very complete if you need advanced stuff.
I use wiremix in Arch and Void linux.
It doesn’t work with pipewire? I’ve never noticed. What symptoms
iiuc you want to add pulseaudio client to pipewire. Regardless of that, it’s worth checking jamesdsp too.
amixer -q set Master playback 75%Or whatever percentage you want.
