Myxer is a lightweight, powerful Volume Mixer built with modern UI design for a seamless user experience.
Devices, Streams, and even Card profiles can all be managed with Myxer, providing a complete replacement for your system Volume Mixer.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Adaptive – adapts to your selected GTK theme so that it fits seamlessly into your stock applications.
- Configure PulseAudio panel plugins to open Myxer when you click the “Audio Mixer” entry on the popup menu so that it behaves like a stock app.
- Behind the context menu, there are options to show individual audio channels and even configure Audio Card profiles. There’s no need for pavucontrol anymore.
