Enhanced Sound applet
Summary
This sound150@claudiux applet is an enhancement of the Cinnamon system sound applet.
This applet works with Pulseaudio or Pipewire.
It can display icons indicating that the microphone is muted or activated.
Sound volume:
- The volume step can be redefined (from 1% to 10%).
- All multiples of 25% (or only 100%) can be magnetized.
- The OSD is compatible with the Horizontal OSD Cinnamon extension.
The song's cover art can be displayed when it is embedded in the file (.mp3, .flac ...) or available from the Radio3.0 applet.
You can use the mouse wheel on this applet to control the sound volume. Use Ctrl+wheel or Shift+wheel to control the microphone volume.
The icon can be colored according to the volume when it exceeds 100%.
From 0% to 100%: standard icon color.
From 101 to 115%: yellow icon (by default).
From 116 to 130%: orange icon (by default).
From 131 to 150%: red icon (by default).
You can select other colors or choose not to display colors.
You can redefine multimedia key bindings.
Successfully tested on Cinnamon versions 2.8 to 6.2 (Linux Mint 17.3 to 22). Does not work on Cinnamon prior to version 2.8 (Linux Mint prior to 17.3).
Dependencies
This applet requires playerctl. If this package is not installed, the user can install it using the 'Install playerctl' option in the menu. If this option is absent from the menu, this means that playerctrl is already installed.
Settings
-
Settings can be accessed by right-clicking on this applet icon (Configure... option of the context menu).
- Since version 5.0.0, settings have been presented in a new way, with 4 tabs: Behavior, Sound, Icon, Shortcuts, making this applet highly configurable.
