pamixer: Mute the default sink (use `--unmute` instead to unmute).
$ pamixer --mute
try on your machine
The command "pamixer --mute" is used to mute the audio output using the PulseAudio sound server.
Here is a breakdown of each component of the command:
- "pamixer": This is the name of the command or executable in the Linux terminal for controlling PulseAudio volume settings.
- "--mute": This is an option or flag that tells the "pamixer" command to mute the audio output. When this option is used, the audio output will be silenced, and no sound will be heard until the mute is removed.
By executing "pamixer --mute" in the terminal, you can easily mute the audio on your system using PulseAudio.
