Bug ID: 436239
Summary: KDE forgets the default pulseaudio output device and
over-rides the system wide configuration
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.21.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_pulseaudio
Assignee: now...@gmail.com
Reporter: mjevans1...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
My system wide audio configuration already specifies a default sink, which is a
combined output device created in that configuration file. Accordingly, KDE's
"helpful" duplication of my efforts has been disabled (do not create (another)
simultaneous audio output).
When I mute the combined audio device, and sometimes (always?) when I
pulseaudio -k to reload settings, KDE will try to pick a device it thinks is
the default, such as the default system sound card. For my use case, this
assumption is incorrect.
Desired solutions:
1) When switching ANY setting, ask first. A new screen / USB sound device /
something else? ASK.
2) Give me a way to tell KDE which device should be the default. The System
Settings > Audio app doesn't seem to have this. If it does have it, it is
EXTREMELY non-obvious.
3) Make it easier to disable automation that changes settings which can be
managed elsewhere.
