Nephrite PulseAudio audio driver

EarA is an unofficial Linux companion application for Nothing and CMF earbuds. It provides a GTK4 interface for managing earbud settings without relying on the manufacturer’s mobile application. The application communicates with compatible earbuds over Bluetooth using BlueZ and the devices’ RFCOMM control protocol. It integrates with PipeWire and PulseAudio for audio routing and offers a command-line interface for controlling supported functions. Nothing Ear (a) has been tested extensively. CMF Buds 2 has verified support for battery reporting, listening modes, equaliser controls and Bluetooth audio. Other Nothing and CMF models have device profiles, although individual features may require further hardware testing. This is free and open source software. #### Key Features * Displays separate battery levels for the left earbud, right earbud and charging case. * Controls active noise cancellation, transparency and other supported listening modes. * Provides equaliser presets and an eight-band graphic equaliser for compatible models. * Adjusts bass enhancement settings. * Configures supported touch and pinch gestures. * Supports in-ear detection settings. * Provides an ear-tip fit test for compatible earbuds. * Includes Find My Earbuds functionality for triggering sounds on connected earbuds. * Supports A2DP audio playback and optional HFP headset microphone mode. * Displays Bluetooth audio codec and connection information. * Uses Bluetooth service discovery to determine the appropriate RFCOMM communication channel. * Provides connection and recovery controls for Bluetooth devices. * Includes diagnostic commands for investigating Bluetooth and audio configuration problems. * Offers a scriptable command-line interface for checking device status and adjusting settings. * Provides a GTK4 and libadwaita interface with separate Device, Sound, Gestures and Tools sections. **Website:** **github.com/oneydef/EarA-linux** **Support:** **Developer:** oneydef **License:** GNU General Public License v3.0 EarA is written in Python.
