Sound 150%
Summary
This sound150@claudiux applet is an improvement of the sound@cinnamon.org applet.
An option allows you to control the volume up to 150% of its nominal value.
The icon and the slider are coloured according to the volume when it is greater than 100%.
A mark on sliders signals the '100%' position of volume.
From 0 to 100%: standard icons.
From 101 to 115%: yellow icon.
From 116 to 130%: orange icon.
From 131 to 150%: red icon.
Note that the icons are those of the system.
An option in settings allows you to don't display colors.
Usage
- In the settings (accessed by right-clicking on the icon), the Maximum volume control option sets the percentage of nominal volume you want to limit the maximum volume. Possible values are between 30% and 150%. From Cinnamon 4.4, Cinnamon Settings are used to set this value.
Use with caution. Above 120%, saturation can make the sound very unpleasant, even agressive.
In a meeting room or classroom, it is often useful to be able to increase the volume beyond 100%.
On the computer of a child, reduce the maximum volume possible to take care of his hearing... and yours!
-
You can also choose the value of incrementation/decrementation (+/-) of the volume (in % of nominal volume).
- If you don't want colors, an option allows you to keep the standard color.
