STEPS TO REPRODUCE

OBSERVED RESULT
multiple listed audio device entries for one Bluetooth device that makes changing the volume up and/or down with the function keys impossible even with the right device selected in the volume output menu

EXPECTED RESULT
that the audio device gets removed from the output list when the bluetooth device gets disconnected

macOS:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Martin 2023-08-09 08:04:55 UTC

I'm running the exact same versions as the original post (EndeavourOS, kernel 6.4.8-arch-1-1, KDE Plasma 5.27.7, KDE frameworks 5.108.0, QT 5.15.10 on X11).

Seems this is reproducible with any audio device. I'm using HDMI audio out and I'm getting a new audio device in the audio widget every time my screen is reconnected to the computer.

You can also recover by restarting plasmashell with `plasmashell --replace` in a terminal window, right?
