    I’m not sure if this fits but here is mine:

    I want to get away from Samsung but the “Sound Assistant” app let’s me control the volume of every app, kind of like a mixer. Sometimes an app doesn’t have a mute option, I can set the volume of that app to 0 without effecting the volume of whatever music I’m listening to.

    I also like to listen to my local police scanner and music at the same time. I can set the volume of the scanner app low enough to not really bother the music but loud enough that if something happens I can still hear it and pause the music.

    I can’t believe Samsung and their app is the only way, but I haven’t found an alternative.

    I think sox is what you want

    I went ahead and asked a free AI how to use sox and played audio to trigger a script. Probably won’t be 100% accurate but maybe send you down the right path. Good luck.

    1. Install ‘sox’ if you haven’t already. You can use the package manager of your Linux distribution to install it.

    2. Open a terminal and use the ‘rec’ command from ‘sox’ to continuously listen to the audio input:

      sox -d -t .wav - silence 1 0.1 3% 1 1.0 3%

      This command will listen for audio and create a .wav file when it detects sound.

    3. Write a script that will be triggered when a sound is detected. For example, you can create a script called “myscript.sh” with the following content:

      #!/bin/bash
echo "Sound detected! Running my script."
# Add your desired actions here

    4. Make the script executable by running the following command in the terminal:

      chmod +x myscript.sh

    5. Use the ‘rec’ command along with the ‘play’ command from ‘sox’ to continuously listen for sound and execute your script when sound is detected:

      sox -d -t .wav - silence 1 0.1 3% 1 1.0 3% | while read -r; do ./myscript.sh; done

      This command will continuously listen for sound and execute your script each time sound is detected.

    Remember to customize the script “myscript.sh” with your desired actions.
