pamixer: Toggle mute on a sink other than the default.
$ pamixer --toggle-mute --sink ${ID}
try on your machine
The command "pamixer --toggle-mute --sink ${ID}" is used to toggle the mute state of an audio sink specified by the ID variable.
Here's the breakdown of the command:
- "pamixer": It is a command-line tool for controlling and configuring PulseAudio sound server.
- "--toggle-mute": This option tells "pamixer" to toggle the mute state of the specified audio sink. If the sink is currently muted, it will be unmuted, and vice versa.
- "--sink ${ID}": This part is used to specify the audio sink by its ID. The "${ID}" is a placeholder where you need to replace it with the actual ID of the audio sink you want to control.
Overall, the command is used to mute or unmute an audio sink by toggling its mute state.
