VRdio - Audio Controls in VR for Linux

Control volume, audio device configurations, and set a default audio configuration all from the SteamVR dashboard. (a screenshot would be great to have here but screenshots unfortunately don't work in steamvr linux valve pls fix)

Dependencies

• SteamVR
• Pulseaudio (or Pulseaudio stand in, such as pipewire-pulse) + libpulse
• Vulkan ICD Loader (libvulkan1 on Ubuntu, vulkan-icd-loader on Arch)
• SDL (libsdl2-2.0-0 on Ubuntu, sdl2 on Arch)
• libopengl-dev (Ubuntu) / libglvnd (Arch)
• Qt5/Qt6 (probably already installed - if not, look at Qt's dependencies)

How do I get it?

Grab the latest release, place and extract it wherever you like, and double click (or run from terminal) vrdio-launch.sh while SteamVR is open. It will be autolaunched next time you run SteamVR. If you want to uninstall it from SteamVR, run ./vrdio-launch.sh --uninstall.

Features to come

• Audio mirroring
