Bose Companion 5 - Fix Sound (Linux)

I got really fed up with the sound constantly cutting out on the Bose Companion 5, and so made this. Bose should really fix the issue, as all this does is perform a reset of the device whenever it happens.

Requirements

  • Go
  • GNU or Busybox, anything which provides lsusb

Building

First install Go and then run:

go build
go install

Usage

I typically bind a sequence using my window manager to execute the application - but you can also just run it from a terminal.
