Sound Switcher Indicator2.4.0.0

Select the active sound input or output from an icon in the desktop’s indicator area or system tray, using a menu that keeps available choices within reach. Sound Switcher Indicator, developed by Dmitry Kann, organizes the ports and devices used for media input and playback on Linux. Its menu changes the current input and output ports in two clicks; in PulseAudio terminology, these are the source and sink.

The Preferences dialog lets users control which devices and ports appear and assign clearer custom names when system labels are confusing. Unneeded devices can be hidden, while unused ports can be removed so a setup with several audio connections shows only relevant choices. It suits people managing workstations with multiple sound devices or ports who frequently change the active audio path.

Version 2.4.0.0 runs with snapd and is built for x86_64, also known as amd64, systems.
