polybar-pulseaudio-control VS indicator-sound-switcher

I'm lacking in scripts and bash. So I don't know how to load this bash script: https://github.com/marioortizmanero/polybar-pulseaudio-control << Download the bash script from this repository, or extract it from the latest release, and put it somewhere in your $PATH. >> I didn't understand what exactly say it. I tried to run pulseaudio-control.bash but I faced << No action specified. Run pulseaudio-control.bash help for more information. >>. I need a more information about this subject. Also can you advise any source about it?

I'm the creator of the pulseaudio-control module for polybar. We recently released the v3.0.0 version, which adds support for sources (i.e., microphones). Thanks to this, you'll also be able to switch between microphones, mute them or control their volume, directly from your status bar.

Edit: I solved it by using this script

Maybe this is what you are looking for

Now that I saw its last build is from 2017, using pavucontrol seems better in any way. I will try this one.

For pulseaudio, there's a built-in module as well. You can see that on the polybar wiki. I use this instead: https://github.com/marioortizmanero/polybar-pulseaudio-control Works like a charm. Does mutes and everything and is fine with bluetooth devices.

I just made this module to easily control PulseEffects, as the creator of polybar-pulseaudio-control.

if you'd like to see those 2 other scripts for spotify and the pulseaudio control, they are located at these links: https://github.com/PrayagS/polybar-spotify https://github.com/marioortizmanero/polybar-pulseaudio-control

for sound options it will only list sources that exist, so plugging in a device - to a line out, to a headphones port, to an onboard hdmi - should add populated options to the sound settings tab. I'm a fan of - https://yktoo.com/en/software/sound-switcher-indicator/ - for a source selector from the desktop, and for pulse audio options for simultaneous output.

i found this sound switcher - https://yktoo.com/en/software/sound-switcher-indicator/ - very handy. I often switch between headphones and speakers, and using pavucontrol for outputting to both.

I was using indicator-sound-switcher to toggle my sinks. One nice thing about it is that it makes it simple to set hotkeys to toggle devices.

I use sound switcher indicator

I found this tool, hope it's helpful.

The only thing close to what I need is this : https://yktoo.com/en/software/sound-switcher-indicator/ but with that I still can't see what output is selected.

You should check the dependencies. This source file for example imports gi and then uses that to load GTK libraries. The required packages for this to work should be in depends.
