This KDE app enables quick adjustment of ALSA mixer volume with its simple interface, providing an effortless solution to audio control.
Visual Volume Display (VVD) is a small app designed for the KDE desktop environment. This handy app offers the ability to adjust ALSA mixer volume quickly and easily while displaying a visual representation of the volume at the same time. One of the key benefits of VVD is that it allows users to bind volume hotkeys to specific commands such as "vvd Front 10+". For anyone looking to simplify their audio adjustments, VVD can prove an ideal solution.
For many users, the visual volume display in KDE can be frustrating. At times, KMix may automatically bind keyboard volume keys and display an on-screen volume bar. However, this feature may then suddenly stop functioning for no apparent reason. Additionally, KMix doesn't always make it easy to select which channel to adjust or may even lose the PCM channel entirely. In response, the VVD app allows users to take control and overcome these persistent audio challenges.
While KDE does have a visible volume display feature through KMix, it can be finicky and doesn't permit easy channel selection or hotkey binding as VVD does. Thanks to VVD, users can now bind multiple hotkeys to adjust volume and adjust different channels at the same time. Overall, VVD makes it more straightforward to use an effective visual volume indicator in the KDE environment.
VVD does not possess a wide range of features at the moment, though plans for future development may expand its potential. To install VVD, use the command "$ make $ su -c "make install"" or "$ sudo make install". For usage, simply enter "$ vvd < channel > < volume_change >". Examples of this include "$ vvd PCM 5+" or "$ vvd Front 20-". Whether in need of a quick volume adjustment or looking to transform the way audio adjustments work in the KDE environment, VVD comes highly recommended as an effective solution.
