 |
|
here is a small hack that makes the laptop notice its at work and so mute the speakers.
so when it starts playing music , i hear it only in my bluetooth headset:
pre requirements:
1. I am using network manager
2. I am using pulse audio
3. I know my WORK_DOMAIN (ask the sys admin or see for yourself)
create this file:
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10mute_at_work
| Code: |
[ "$DHCP4_DOMAIN_NAME" != "WORK_DOMAIN" ] && exit 0
case "$2" in
up)
pactl set-card-profile 0 "input:analog-stereo"
;;
esac |
now chmod +x /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10mute_at_work
when you connect it will run the pactl command that will cause the onboard audio to act as a microphone only |
