## Overview

PulseAudio Volume Control (`pavucontrol`) is a simple GTK based volume control tool ("mixer") for the PulseAudio sound server. In contrast to classic mixer tools this one allows you to control both the volume of hardware devices and of each playback stream separately.

Everybody loves screenshots.

## Current Status

Works perfectly.

## Documentation

There is not much to say. Just run `pavucontrol` and see for yourself.

## Requirements

Currently, `pavucontrol` is tested on Linux only.

`pavucontrol` was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" from April 2006, it should work on most other Linux distributions (and maybe Unix versions) since it uses GNU autoconf for source code configuration.

`pavucontrol` requires `gtkmm` and `glademmm` installed.

Obviously `pavucontrol` requires an installation of PulseAudio (version 0.9.16).

## Installation

As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run `./configure` inside the distribution directory for configuring the source tree. After that you should run `make` for compilation and `make install` (as root) for installation of `pavucontrol`.

## Acknowledgements

Colin Guthrie for the card profile UI and other work
