Configuration

Sink Switch uses a simple configuration system to keep track of your preferred devices and settings.

Linux Configuration

On Linux, settings are stored in your home directory:

~/.config/sink-switch/config.json

Available Options

• primary_sink: The name of your default headphones/speakers.
• secondary_sink: The name of your backup device.
• notifications: Boolean to enable/disable desktop pings.
• volume_step: How much the volume changes when using increment commands.

Windows Configuration

On Windows, the Go version stores settings in the local AppData folder:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Sink-Switch\settings.json

You can also access these settings directly through the Preferences menu in the Dashboard UI.

Auto-Start on Boot

To ensure Sink Switch is always ready, we recommend adding it to your startup applications:

• Linux (GNOME/KDE): Add `sink-switch --tray` to your "Startup Applications" list.
• Windows: Toggle the "Launch on Startup" option in the Preferences menu.
