Re: [pulseaudio-discuss] How to choose the sound card for an application using CLI ?
It works ! For the record, it works too with the index value gived with : pacmd list-sinks | egrep 'index|name:' I prefer this way because, as I've got multiple times the same card, the name (which depends on how many card I've got) could change if I remove one of them. The index is fixed in that case. Thanks a lot. °1ivier Le 2020-11-03 10:39, Tanu Kaskinen a écrit : On Tue, 2020-11-03 at 02:25 +0100, 01iv...@labomedia.org wrote: Hello, I want to run applications with specifics sound cards in command line on Ubuntu 20.04.

[pulseaudio-discuss] How to choose the sound card for an application using CLI ?
Hello, I want to run applications with specifics sound cards in command line on Ubuntu 20.04. I know it is graphically possible with Pulseaudio Volume Control which let me choose the card in a menu after the application is launched. But I want to use command lines so that I can automatize the process in a bash file (I've got ten sound cards and more to come). I've tried "pactl set-default-sink" but it changes the card for all the applications. I've looked in "man pulse-cli-syntax" but I didn't find what I'm looking for. I've also tried to use environment variables such as ALSA_CARD= and ALSA_PCM_CARD= without success. Is there a way to do what I want ?
