I didn't find any good soundboard application for linux so I created one. It uses pulseaudio modules to achieve a universal interface. You can select every recording stream for the audio output. The GUI is written with Qt.

It is currently in alpha because I don't know if this works for everyone.

Please refer to your distro instructions on how to install

• pulseaudio
• mpg123 (optional: for playing mp3 files)

You can install my package with your AUR helper of choice which will automatically compile and install the master branch

yay -S soundux-git

This list may be not accurate. Contact me if you find missing dependencies that I can update this list

• qpm
• qt5-base
• qt5-tools

sudo apt install git golang-go qt5-default libqt5x11extras5-dev mpg123
go get qpm.io/qpm

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/D3S0X/Soundux.git
cd Soundux

Install dependencies

# If you installed qpm via go
~/go/bin/qpm install
# Otherwise
qpm install

Create a build folder and start compilation

mkdir build
cd build
qmake ..
make

To start the program

./Soundux

Automated Installation is currently not available but will be available in the future. (You may look into my arch package and figure it out for your distro)
