# PULSE SOUNDBOARD

this is a bunch of script for having a basic terminal based soundboard system. I'm using this in conjunction with OpenDeck to add soundboard for discord and games like lethal company. 

## Instructions

First of all, if you use pipewire or pulse audio, this should work out the box. most (if not all) modern linux distros use either of the two, so this should just work.

start by running `toggle_soundboard.sh`. this toggles the soundboard sink on and off, makes a virtual output device, sets it as default, and mixes it with you current default output device and the soundboard sink. On OpenDeck, enable `Show on key`, as this outputs wether it is on or off.

run `play.sh <path to your sound file>` to play whatever sound file you like from the soundboard.

running `stop_all.sh` kills all the sounds currently playing.

running `stop_soundboard.sh` ends the virtual soundboard and kills all the sounds currently playing.
