I have a dumb work related chrome thing, i’d like to make it so that when a certain notification sound plays in chromium, my computer does a few things automatically for me

Does anyone know a good way to make this happen?

I imagine it’d have to be setup like:

when chrome starts playing audio && check if that audio matches soundfile.ogg && myscript.sh, but I don’t know any good cli utilities that could get something like that done, and if there are any better ideas!

    I dunno exactly but, for shell script, playerctl can detect the audio output ig.

    There might be some audio library. May be you can write a daemon or something to watch for events. That way you can you use it on anywhere not just on chrome.

    Can you add more specifications, coz id like to help
