The details depend a bit on the audiostack of your distro, but they all have a cli program with which you can change inputs/outputs and volume; e.g. pactl for pulseaudio and wpctl for wireplumber.
You’ll need a mechanism to find your triggers (I create a firefox tab with youtube/spotify, I have a music player active) and then you can act on it.
Detecting voice in an audiostream is probably technically possible, but that sounds pretty hard to setup.
So what I'm getting is that I would have to come up with something myself, right? I mean that would be super cool to do, but I don't have the time to put into that, unfortunately
Yes, a quick web search later I haven’t found a readymade solution.
Setting the volume for specific outputs is not very hard, so maybe a middleground solution is to have two shortcuts. One for “game mode” and one for “music mode” or whatever.
There is a great video on that in German
55 minutes? Uhm, could you tell me the relevant section of the video, please?
No not really
Why so irritable? I'm just asking, I don't even know German, I thought since you knew the video already, you could point me in the right direction, rather than me having to sift through it all while also passing it through a translator to hopefully (because I don't know how well youtube's auto-translate feature works) find the information I'm looking for in the whole presentation
The app is called "carla" and is a plugin host for jack plugins that works with Pipewire
So you dont know german, this changes some things.
The person explains
this is high level trolling, kudos sir
Hahaha wasnt meant like that
Pulseaudio should have hooks
# cat /etc/pulse/default.pa
load-module module-switch-on-connect
load-module module-exec
load-module module-exec arguments="path/to/your/script.sh %s"
(where %s resolves on trigger to the name of the sink added)
Your script.sh should then match the first argument to the name of the sink you want to control, and then run
# path/to/your/script.sh
if [ "$1" = "THESINKIWANT" ]; then
pactl set-sink-volume $1 40%
fi
I’m fairly sure you can do this with Wireplumber hooks. https://pipewire.pages.freedesktop.org/wireplumber/design/events_and_hooks.html
This is the architecture though, I'm asking about an application that can interact with it
I found this software a couple of days ago. Not sure if it will really help with your first problem 😆 because I'm still figuring it out myself. But looks promising. https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects
If you find a way to do this, it would be cool if you can share it!
Will do, hopefully there is one
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
