Polybar module that displays the volume of a given input device using PulseAudio
pacmd and controls it using pactl.
To use this module, put the following module in your Polybar config,
substituting MICROPHONE_NAME with the name or index of the device you want to
display, and substituting PATH_TO_SCRIPT with the path to the mic-volume.sh
script.
If you don't include MICROPHONE_NAME the default input device will be used
instead.
[module/mic-volume]
type = custom/script
interval = 1
format = Mic: <label>
exec = bash PATH_TO_SCRIPT show-vol MICROPHONE_NAME
; Control actions (using pactl)
click-left = bash PATH_TO_SCRIPT mute-vol MICROPHONE_NAME
scroll-up = bash PATH_TO_SCRIPT inc-vol MICROPHONE_NAME
scroll-down = bash PATH_TO_SCRIPT dec-vol MICROPHONE_NAME
For example:
[module/mic-volume]
type = custom/script
interval = 1
format = Mic:<label>
exec = bash ~/.config/polybar/mic-volume/mic-volume.sh show-vol 'alsa_input.usb-Samson_Technologies_Samson_Meteor_Mic-00.analog-stereo'
; Control actions (using pactl)
; Example supplying the name of the source
click-left = bash ~/.config/polybar/mic-volume/mic-volume.sh mute-vol 'alsa_input.usb-Samson_Technologies_Samson_Meteor_Mic-00.analog-stereo'
; Example supplying the index of the source
scroll-up = bash ~/.config/polybar/mic-volume/mic-volume.sh inc-vol 2
; Example leaving the MICROPHONE_NAME blank and using the default source
scroll-down = bash ~/.config/polybar/mic-volume/mic-volume.sh dec-vol
Note The name and index of the source can be found by running
pacmd list-sources. Ignore the arrow brackets when using the name.
