pulseaudioControl

Volume controller for pulseaudio with bash without needing to identify the current sink being used. I wrote this script for my i3 setup with pulseaudio. I wanted to be able to change the volume for all my devices at once.

Functions

  • increaseVolume(): Increases the volume for all sinks by 5%
  • decreaseVolume(): Decreases the volume for all sinks by 5%
  • toggleMute(): Mute or unmute all sinks

Example

./setVolume functionName

Or inside the config file for your i3wm media keys:

# Pulse Audio controls
#increase sound volume:
bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec --no-startup-id /path/to/setVolume.sh increaseVolume
#decrease sound volume:
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec --no-startup-id /path/to//setVolume.sh decreaseVolume
# mute sound:
bindsym XF86AudioMute exec --no-startup-id /path/to/setVolume.sh toggleMute
