The applet has a "Show virtual devices" option that is off by default, presumably if you enable that your devices will appear (In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #1) > The applet has a "Show virtual devices" option that is off by default, > presumably if you enable that your devices will appear Thanks, that solves my issue! Maybe the option is a bit difficult to discover, but it does what I want. In 5.27 the config options were rearranged, so it should be easier to find then |
Created attachment 154644 [details] Config for virtual sinks SUMMARY I have split my sound card into two virtual ones using libpipewire-module-loopback. This way, I can move individual applications from my headphones to my speakers or the other way around. In the past I could see these loopback devices in the plasma-pa widget. But since a few releases they are gone and I can only see the "Audio Pro" devices. The audio settings in system settings still also list the loopback devices. I would like to get the loopback devices back to the plasma-pa widget in order to move applications around easily. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. You need to use pipewire as audio server 2. Copy the attached config to ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/ OBSERVED RESULT The loopback devices do not show up in the plasma-pa widget. EXPECTED RESULT The loopback devices should show up in the plasma-pa widget. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.100.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7
