Usage
To get most of the features listed above, you need to have a daemon instance running (earbuds -d
). If you run one of the commands
listed below, the daemon automatically gets started.
Status informations:
earbuds status
Set equalizer to Bass boost
earbuds set equalizer bass
Enable ANC
earbuds enable anc
Change ambient sound
earbuds set ambientsound <0-4> # 0: off 4: highest
Toggle noise reduction or the touchpad lock
earbuds toggle anc/touchpad
Get status in json format
earbuds status -o json
Set the left touchpad tap command to spotify
earbuds set tap-action spotify left
Connect/disconnect:
earbuds connect/disconnect
To debug the daemon run:
earbuds -k -d --no-fork
This kills the currently running daemon, creates a new one and starts it in the foreground.
