Bug ID: 409094
Summary: Audio Volume Settings is not fully featured and does
not make PulseAudio settings (the real settings menu)
discoverable
Product: plasma-pa
Version: unspecified
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: applet
Assignee: now...@gmail.com
Reporter: blazing...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
This is a UX bug.
On a Kubuntu installation, the most prominent way to get to audio settings is
through the `Audio Volume` system tray icon.
Clicking on the `settings` icon in that system tray applet brings up the KDE
`Audio Volume Settings` menu. From this menu, some setting are available, but
not all.
For instance, it does not have the ability to swap between ports on an input
device.
>From this settings menu, there is no icon or hint that there is another audio
setting applet (PulseAudio in my case). This leads the user to believe that the
only audio settings are the ones on display in the KDE Audio Volume settings.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on the audio icon in the system tray
2. Click on the settings icon to open `Audio Volume Settings`
OBSERVED RESULT
No reference to the backend audio driver settings
EXPECTED RESULT
A icon to click that refers the user to the PulseAudio settings menu OR a fully
featured settings menu
