Overview

PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol) is a simple GTK based volume control tool ("mixer") for the PulseAudio sound server. In contrast to classic mixer tools this one allows you to control both the volume of hardware devices and of each playback stream separately.

Everybody loves screenshots.

Current Status

Works perfectly.

Documentation

There is not much to say. Just run pavucontrol and see for yourself.

Requirements

Currently, pavucontrol is tested on Linux only.

pavucontrol was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" from April 2006, it should work on most other Linux distributions (and maybe Unix versions) since it uses GNU autoconf for source code configuration.

pavucontrol requires gtkmm and glademmm installed.

Obviously pavucontrol requires an installation of PulseAudio (version 0.9.16).

Installation

As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run ./configure inside the distribution directory for configuring the source tree. After that you should run make for compilation and make install (as root) for installation of pavucontrol.
