Description Simon Blandford 2011-07-13 06:55:56 UTC 
There does not appear to be any way to set the left or right volume independently using the commands such as...

pacmd set-source-volume "source_name" 32000

It is currently only possible to set both left and right together.


What I am looking for is something like...

pacmd set-source-volume "source_name" 32000 40000

...where the two end parameters are left level and right level respectively.

FWIW, it's not just left+right, but any combination of channel maps.

pacmd is a debug tool which means it's not really important to support everything possible, but pactl should (IMO) support this somehow.
Comment 2 Tanu Kaskinen 2013-11-22 13:27:59 UTC 
Changing "pacmd" to "pactl" in the bug title.
