Pulseaudio setup

Why?

• Easy Equalizer
• Easy Audio redirection/piping speaker output to mic input.

Note: Alsa is all you need for basic media consuming, pulseaudio is required for points above^^.

• firefox audio doesn't work with alsa, you will need to install apulse from AUR.
  $ yay -S apulse
$ apulse firefox voila!

Installation:

$ sudo pacman -S pulseaudio pavucontrol pulseaudio-alsa pulseaudio-equalizer-ladspa pulseaudio-zeroconf pulsemixer

Basic audio control:

toggle mute: $ amixer -q -D pulse sset Master toggle
decrease vol: $ amixer -q -D pulse sset Master 1%+
increase vol: $ amixer -q -D pulse sset Master 1%-

Equalizer:

open pulseaudio-equalizer-gtk which is installed by pulseaudio-equalizer-ladspa.

Audio redirection/piping:

$ pavucontrol
goto Recording tab, show: All Streams
select from there.
