RsMixer is a PulseAudio volume mixer written in rust
- monitors displaying current volume
- applications using outputs displayed in a nested tree structure for easier viewing
- changing card settings
- all the basic stuff you expect a volume mixer to do
You can install RsMixer through cargo:
cargo install rsmixer
or by manually building it:
git clone https://github.com/jantap/rsmixer.git
cargo install --path ./rsmixer
or if you're an Arch user, you can install it from AUR:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rsmixer.git
cd rsmixer
makepkg -si
Application screen is divided into 3 pages: Output, Input and Cards. Output combines PulseAudio sinks and sink inputs (if you don't know much about pulseaudio - basically sinks/sources are speakers/microphones, sink inputs/source outputs are audio streams from applications, for outputing and inputing sound respectively) into one tree-like view, that makes it easy to see which device every app uses.
All keybindings are configurable through ~/.config/rsmixer/rsmixer.toml. [Changing keybindings][changing keybindings] for more info.
Default keybindings:
- j,k - move between entries
- h, l, H, L - change volume
- 1, 2, 3 - open outputs, inputs, and cards respectively
- enter - open context menu
In ~/.config/rsmixer/rsmixer.toml you will find a section [bindings]. There you will find a list of default keybindings.
All keybindings look one of these:
q = ['exit']
"shift+tab" = ['cycle_pages_backward']
right = ['raise_volume(5)']
Basically key = ArrayOf(action). Key is either:
- a char
- a special key. Special keys supported (if anything is missing just create an issue)
- a key combination, with plus signs between keys (one or more of shift, ctrl, alt and and a char/special key, seperated by plus signs)
In the same way you can set behavior on right and middle clicks on entries
mouse_right = ['mute']
mouse_middle = ['hide']
(left mouse click is automatically assigned to selecting entries and opening context menu when entry is already selected)
When that key/key combination gets pressed rsmixer performs an action assigned to that keybinding. Possible actions
