Audio Switcher

A simple script to help change which audio devices we would like to use; speaker or headphone.

Dependencies

• yq ( https://github.com/mikefarah/yq )
  • Note: don't confuse with another yq, which is just a wrapper for jq
• pactl
  • Arch: provided by libpulse
  • Ubuntu: provided by pulseaudio-utils
• notify-send
  • Arch: provided by libnotify
  • Ubuntu: provided by libnotify-bin

How to install:

1. Make sure required dependencies has been installed
2. Clone this repository into $REPOPATH (e.g: /home/kucing/github) of your choosing
3. Navigate into $REPOPATH and install using install.sh
4. Edit audio-switcher.yaml as needed using the audio-switcher.yaml.example as a reference.
   • Or you can just run audio-switcher.sh in terminal, and it will tell you what needed to be done.
5. Voila!

Usage:

• To change audio devices
  $ audio-switcher.sh

• To increase volume
  $ audio-switcher.sh up

• To decrease volume
  $ audio-switcher.sh down

Suggestion

It would be better if you assigned this to a hotkey so that it's easier to use.
My personal fav is:

Hotkey	Command	Description
F8	$REPOPATH/audio-switcher.sh	To change audio device
F11	$REPOPATH/audio-switcher.sh down	To decrease volume
F12	$REPOPATH/audio-switcher.sh up	To increase volume

Note: change $REPOPATH to actual path containing audio-switcher.sh
