[pulseaudio-discuss] How do I read my microphone's source levels from the cmdline?

[Kai Hendry]

Hi guys,


In pavucontrol I can see the levels of my microphone;

That reading I hope is all I need for my noise monitoring system.

How do I get values of my levels from some cli tool like pamix or pactl?

I know I could do this with gstreamer, but I find it very hairy.
