Usage

To get most of the features listed above, you need to have a daemon instance running (earbuds -d). If you run one of the commands listed below, the daemon automatically gets started.

Status informations:

earbuds status

Set equalizer to Bass boost

earbuds set equalizer bass

Enable ANC

earbuds enable anc

Change ambient sound

earbuds set ambientsound <0-4> # 0: off 4: highest

Toggle noise reduction or the touchpad lock

earbuds toggle anc/touchpad

Get status in json format

earbuds status -o json

Set the left touchpad tap command to spotify

earbuds set tap-action spotify left

Connect/disconnect:

earbuds connect/disconnect

To debug the daemon run:

earbuds -k -d --no-fork

This kills the currently running daemon, creates a new one and starts it in the foreground.
