PNMixer is system tray sound mixer. Running with the HighContrast theme it looks like this:
PNMixer currently supports ALSA and Pulse audio. It is written in C, depends only on GTK+, and does not require Gnome.
PNMixer integrates nicely into desktop environments that don't have a panel and therefore can't run a mixer applet. In particular it's been used quite a lot with tint2.
PNMixer is a fork of OBMixer with a number of additions. These include:
- Volume adjustment with the scroll wheel
- Select which ALSA device and channel to use (added in version 0.3)
- Textual display of volume level in popup window
- Continuous volume adjustment when dragging the slider (not just when you let go)
- Use system icon theme for icons and use mute/low/medium/high volume icons
- Configurable middle click action (default is mute/unmute)
- Preferences for:
- volume text display
- volume text position
- icon theme
- amount to adjust per scroll
- middle click action
Latest version is here
This version has the following new features/fixes:
- Selecting which ALSA device and channel to use
- If the volume is changed by another program, PNMixer notices and updates its display
- Volume is now adjusted properly for cards/channels that have fewer than 100 volume increments. In this case each mouse scroll might adjust a bit more or less than the set mouse scroll step.
- Translations are now supported.
- A German translation is included. If you want to contribute a translation, please contact me.
There is also an AUR Package for Arch
Running in the tray with HighContrast theme.
Left clicking the icon brings up the master volume control. A full mixer is launched by clicking 'Volume Control'.
