Volume Control

[pranay1208]

I have noticed a very high audio volume when the bot joins my voice channel. Would it be possible to introduce some kind of volume control?

Thank you for your time and consideration

Thanks for opening this issue.

Since the goal of stdinman is to purely facilitate in piping raw audio into discord with minimal config, I won't add a volume option. I can recommend:

Controlling input volume via ffmpeg: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/AudioVolume#Changingvolume

Examples:

# increase volume by 10dB
ffmpeg -i input.wav -filter:a "volume=10dB" output.wav
# decrease volume by 5dB
ffmpeg -i input.wav -filter:a "volume=-5dB" output.wav

basically use the -filter:a flag.

Changing the volume of the bot

Discord allows you to change the volume of a user (or bot), you can reduce this. It should remember it for the next time the bot connects.
