I have run into this once or twice, but with PipeWire. Not sure if that counts for confirmation. Also, I don't have a reliable way to reproduce my case: if I run `systemctl --user restart pipewire.service`, devices and outputs briefly disappear, but all come back after few seconds. 6.2 will have improved context reconnect UX. |
Created attachment 153815 [details] Audio devices present SUMMARY For some unknown reason I often need to restart Pulse Audio in order for it to work. The problem is that after restarting pulse audio with pulse-audio -k; pulse-audio --start the volume control applet shows a red line through it and is disabled. Clicking on it shows no devices or applications. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Restart pulse audio with pulse-audio -k; pulse-audio --start OBSERVED RESULT No audio devices or applications are shown EXPECTED RESULT I expect all of the applications and devices to be shown after restarting Pulse audio SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE 15.4, Plasma 5.26.3 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
