Find your default sink monitor

giggles: sink monitor is a funny name for this concept

• The audio outputs that PulseAudio creates are called "sinks."
• "Monitors" are virtual devices that you can use to listen to the audio that will be sent to these devices (i.e. it turns a sink into a source)

# get default monitor name - you do not need to be root for this. yay!
$ pactl list sinks | grep $(pactl get-default-sink).monitor | cut -d : -f 2

Ensure that your monitor volume is at 100%

Note

I'm not including the original epub or the resultant Anki deck as I'm sure its still copyrighted. I'm sure you can find what you need elsewhere.

See https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/en/conversion.html

2. Rename the file to make it easier to work with on the CLI
