Change Volume of Active Window

Usage Example

Action Command
Set volume to 50% set_volume_of_active_window 50
Increase by 20% set_volume_of_active_window +20
Decrease by 3% set_volume_of_active_window -3

Dependencies

  • pacmd (to modify the volume)
  • xdotool (to get the active window)

Setup

  • Place the files in some folder that is part of $PATH
  • Place update_volume_on_new_sink > /dev/null & in $HOME/.profile (or somewhere else where it automatically starts).

Further Information

The current volume level of each process is stored in $HOME/.volume.
This can be altered by changing the storage_path variable in set_volume_of_active_window and update_volume_on_new_sink.
update_volume_on_new_sink runs in the background and sets the volume of new processes.

Known Issue

When skipping in a video in Firefox the volume shortly jumps to the original volume before it is updated by update_volume_on_new_sink. If someone has an idea on how to fix this, please let me know.
