Sonusmix is a GTK4 audio routing and device management application for PipeWire.
It’s designed to help users create virtual audio devices, route sound between applications and hardware, and manage application audio streams from a single interface. The project aims to provide workflows familiar to users of Voicemeeter and Pulsemeeter while integrating with the Linux desktop and other PipeWire audio tools.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Create virtual devices that can be selected as inputs or outputs in other programs.
- Route audio between PipeWire nodes using a graphical interface.
- Manage audio from an entire application through app endpoints.
- Lock connections and volume settings so they’re restored if changed outside Sonusmix.
- Save and reload configurations between sessions.
- Control the volume of individual applications and devices.
