mx-select-sound - select the default audio device

SYNOPSIS
mx-select-sound

DESCRIPTION
mx-select-sound is a graphical utility for selecting and testing the default audio device.

When PipeWire is running, the program lists available sinks and uses pactl(1) to select the default sink. Otherwise, it lists ALSA sound cards and records the selected default card in ~/.asoundrc.

The Test button plays a short stereo test sound through the selected default device.

OPTIONS
The program does not provide application-specific command-line options.
