<div class="news-date">Sun Aug 15 2021: </div>
<p class="news-text">
<a href="@PACKAGE_URL@pavucontrol-5.0.tar.xz">Version 5.0</a> released.
Changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Support for switching Bluetooth codecs (new in PulseAudio 15.0).</li>
<li>Support for locking card profiles (new in PulseAudio 15.0). Locking
a profile prevents PulseAudio from automatically switching away from that
profile on plug/unplug events.</li>
<li>New translations: Asturian, Basque, Belarusian, Galician, Hebrew, Kazakh,
Norwegian Bokmål, Sinhala, Slovenian</li>
<li>Updated translations: Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional),
Croatian, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese,
Korean, Lithuanian, Norwegian Nynorsk, Polish, Portugese, Portugese (Brazil),
Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian.</li>
<li>Some bug fixes.</li>
<li>New dependency: json-glib.</li>
<li>Minimum gtkmm version bumped to 3.22.</li>

<div class="news-date">Tue Mar 5 2019: </div>
<p class="news-text">
<a href="@PACKAGE_URL@pavucontrol-4.0.tar.xz">Version 4.0</a> released.
Changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>There can now be only one pavucontrol window open at a time. Trying to
start pavucontrol for a second time brings the first window to foreground.</li>
<li>Added a "Show volume meters" checkbox to the Configuration tab. Disabling
the volume meters reduces CPU use.</li>
<li>Improve the use of space (remove useless margins and paddings).</li>
<li>Use a more appropriate icon for the channel lock button.</li>
<li>Better channel label layout, prevents volume sliders from getting
unaligned.</li>
<li>Maximum latency offset increased from 2 to 5 seconds to accommodate AirPlay
devices that often have higher latency than 2 seconds (this is not that useful
on newer PulseAudio versions, though, because the latency is reported much more
accurately than before).</li>
<li>New --version command line option.</li>
<li>New translations: Chinese (Taiwan), Croatian, Korean, Norwegian Nynorsk,
Lithuanian, Valencian.</li>
<li>Updated translations: Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish,
Swedish.</li>
<li>Dropped support for Gtk+ 2.</li>
<li>Bumped the minimum supported libpulse version to 5.0.</li>
<li>Improved compatibility with newer Glade versions.</li>

<h2><a name="overview">Overview</a></h2>

<p>PulseAudio Volume Control (<tt>pavucontrol</tt>) is a simple GTK
based volume control tool ("mixer") for the <a
href="http://pulseaudio.org/">PulseAudio
sound server</a>. In contrast to classic mixer tools this one allows
you to control both the volume of hardware devices and of each
playback stream separately.</p>

<p>Everybody loves <a href="@PACKAGE_URL@/screenshot.png">screenshots</a>.</p>

<h2><a name="status">Current Status</a></h2>

<h2><a name="requirements">Requirements</a></h2>

<p>Currently, <tt>pavucontrol</tt> is tested on Linux only. It should work on
most Linux distributions.</p>

<p><tt>pavucontrol</tt> requires <a href="http://www.gtkmm.org"><tt>gtkmm</tt></a> and <tt>glademmm</tt> installed.</p>

<p>Obviously <tt>pavucontrol</tt> requires an installation of <a href="http://pulseaudio.org/">PulseAudio</a>.</p>

<h2><a name="installation">Installation</a></h2>

<p>As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run
<tt>./configure</tt> inside the distribution directory for configuring

compilation and <tt>make install</tt> (as root) for installation of
<tt>pavucontrol</tt>.</p>
