Bug ID: 399954
Summary: Default audio device is ignored
Product: plasma-pa
Version: 5.14.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm
Assignee: now...@gmail.com
Reporter: et...@ethanhussong.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
My default audio device is ignored.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set default audio device to one other than the one that is selected after a
fresh installation.
2. Open an application and start playing audio (e.g. Clementine, Vivaldi
browser)
OBSERVED RESULT
Application begins playing through the original default device and not the
newly selected one. By selecting a different default, then selecting the
desired default all playing applications will then begin playing through that
device.
EXPECTED RESULT
Selected default device should play audio.
SOFTWARE VERSIONS
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 53.51.0
Qt Version: 5.11.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Certain applications will seem to retain settings once they are selected in the
"Applications" section of the Audio settings. e.g. I can open Clementine and
experience the bug, but if I set it on the application page it will start
playing through that device even if the application is closed and reopened.
Other applications lose this any time that the application stops playing long
enough to disappear from the "Applications" settings page. e.g. Vivaldi can
have a video playing and will default to the incorrect device. If it is set on
the application page it will work fine. If the video is paused for a few
moments and the application output disappears from the "Applications" page it
will then start playing audio back to the incorrect (original default, before
being changed) output device and needs to be set again every time the audio
stream is restarted.
Behavior is consistent across multiple distributions. Kubuntu 18.04.1 does not
appear to have this issue, but Fedora 28, Manjaro KDE, and now KDE Neon do.
Possibly related to Bug 396296 as I end up often seeing similar issues as
described in this bug, but am not reporting on the same thing.
