mixer

Hi, I have a gaming headset (Steelseries Arctis 7) which has two devices - one for main sound (game sound) and another for chat sound (lower quality) and mic. Once I set the default pcm, sound works well and on programs that allow you to select devices, I am able to use the microphone. The...

I want to add custom key bindings in the qtile config (~/.config/qtile/config.py) to run arbitrary sh commands. Normally to do this one must access the prompt widget (mod+r), and then manually type the command. Instead I want to set a custom keybinding to essentially access the prompt widget...

Hello, can someone explain to me how to use the VPC feature of the operating system? I noticed it some time ago in the sound man page, but I didn't find any resources on how to actually use it for per application volume control. It does not seem like it's possible with the default mixer utility...

Hi, I've switched over to FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE completely a few days ago. Everything runs great and I now have suspend working but with two issues: 1. If I suspend my PC with DSBmixer still running (I'm using Xfce 4), the init system endlessly waits for it to quit. I have to hold the power...

I am looking for a semi convenient mixer application with as little dependencies as possible. It doesn't really matter if graphical or not as long as it has at least some curses interface. If it's graphical i'd prefer GTK2 (or if it has to be 3) but i'll take what i can get. Also i'd like to use...

I have tried to record audio in many different ways. I have tried recording with obs-studio, simplescreenrecorder, and via ffmpeg. None of these methods work. Usually I tried to record from /dev/dsp3 but I also tried to record from /dev/dsp4 and all other outputs, but nothing works. Playing...

Hi everyone, I have a little problem with sound volume on my PC. I'm using 2 devices for my audio. My default is an external speaker with a sub-woofer and 2 speakers plugged in at the back of my PC. That is: pcm4: <Realtek ALC1150 (Rear Analog 7.1/2.0)> (play/rec) default and also I have a...

How do I mute volume in FreeBSD laptop running 12-CURRENT? I tried running mixer vol mute, which sets the volume to 0. However there is no way to get back the old volume level, something line mixer vol unmute or even mixer vol mute toggle. I run a minimal window setup around Xmonad, I came...

I wanted to be able to change the volume of a sink from the terminal. I had been using mate-volume-control, but it was annoying to have to open that gui every time I wanted to change the volume. I had also previously been using mate-volume-control to toggle output sources (speaker/headphones)...
