Bug ID: 357214
Summary: Volume control affects all inputs
Product: plasma-pa
Version: 5.4.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: v...@v13.gr
Hi there,
I tested plasma-pa and while it looks nice, I believe that there are two
issues: OSD and volume control. This bug report is about the latter.
In short, the issue is that when you adjust the volume with the keyboard's
volume keys, the volume gets adjusted for all inputs (in contrast with kmix
where you can select a master channel). I find this to be an issue for any
setup that has multiple outputs.
My setup is as follows:
* Pulseaudio
* 3 outputs: Onboard sound card, USB sound card, Bluetooth headphones
* Pulseaudio is configured to have a simultaneous output
* Everything uses the simultaneous output by default
The above mean that there are 4 outputs: 3 plus the simultaneous one.
I'm setting up the volume individually to relatively adjust them, or set them
to the maximum to preserve quality. I then control the volume with the master
channel (simultaneous output), which is 100% feasible with kmix, but impossible
with plasma-pa.
But it gets worse: If I mute one of the outputs (which I do, because one has a
pair of cabled headphones connected and I don't want them playing anything when
I use the bluetooth ones) and I use the keyboard's volume control keys, it
unmutes the output.
As such, please consider making the volume control keys only affect one output
and not all of them. I.e. add an option for the master channel/output a'la
kmix.
Thanks,
Stefanos
Reproducible: Always

Use the keyboard to adjust the volume
Actual Results:
All outputs are adjusted
Expected Results:
Only one output should be affected
