lol. SoundSource looks identical to `pavucontrol` which I've been using for close to a decade, without ever touching a single bit of configuration, ever, for PulseAudio or PipeWire. Or a single line to install EasyEffects which adds effects in the mix, also with zero configuration. I'm not exaggerating. Tell me something you think SoundSource can do, and I'll show you me doing the same thing with Pavucontrol or EasyEffects in my entirely stock setup. But sure. You found a screenshot of the ultimate Pipewire power tool that allows you to do things I guarantee SoundSource doesn't, and ran with it. >They look great and there are a LOT of them that do pretty unique things that I haven't seen in Windows or Linux. Oh?

lol cool. This app looks like complete trash, and I guarantee isn't as feature filled out of the box, like I said. But sure. pavucontrol https://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/pavucontrol//screenshot.png https://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/pavucontrol//scr... soundsource https://rogueamoeba.com/soundsource/images/hero@2x.png https://rogueamoeba.com/soundsource/images/hero@2x.png I love those of you who think an OSX user wouldn't know linux/linux apps. edit: Yeah, this does nothing that soundsource does. I wish some of you would actually read the features and stop posting these volume control apps. Not to mention Soundsource was just a quick example. I could name 50 more apps that don't have a Linux alternative or one that is of any quality. Literally - "A simple volume control tool (mixer) for the PulseAudio sound server."

  Then you would name a feature that SoundSource does that Pavucontrol doesn't. But you don't actually know what you're talking about. For all the talk, it should be trivial for you to make me look foolish right now. Like, so easy, right?

    Show me the UI for telling a specific application to redirect its audio output to a specific device automatically. Show me the UI where I plug in a specific device it switches a specific applications (not all) default automatically to the new device. Show me it's headphone EQ. Show me per-app headphone EQ. Show me per app EQ settings. Show me the built in 3D/spatial audio for headphones Then show me the config file you had to edit to set all of this up. And show me how clean and attractive the UI doing all this is. Then show me it in Pipewire because I don't care about Pulseaudio anyway and would never use that in 2023 with my need for low latency due to my DAW/equipment. Then, in Pipewire, show me how to all this without using Wireplumber or Mixx. I didn't say you couldn't do things in XYZ. I said the configuration of doing so sucks compared to doing it in another app. Soundsource was just an example. I don't know why you care so much. I could've said Pixelmator (GIMP?) or 30 other apps. PS: "For all the talk, it should be trivial for you to make me look foolish right now. Like, so easy, right?" You're this heated up because I like an OSX app more than Linux options? You're acting like I personally care about "winning" this argument. Even if it has these features I still wouldn't use the app. Aesthetics and ease of use is important to my day to day machine. Win the "argument" all you want.

      pavucontrol works on Pipewire too, not just Pulseaudio, for what it's worth

      I think the application you're looking for is easy effects, which absolutely does profile autoloading.

I use osx myself and do not like desktop linux for multiple reasons. Though, the fanboys like you are exactly the reason I want to migrate just to not have anything in common with that group.
