Another user reported the same problem in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460800 . There are other symptoms, which may or may not be related to the UI problem. That bug is " Audio continues via original channel when bluetooth connected to an external device (and notification shows audio switched to BT channel)"

Comment 2 Harald Sitter 2024-09-23 11:50:23 UTC

Looks to me like a bug in pipewire. What happens is that we think the new thing is default but the old thing never gets marked as not-default so we end up with multiple selected radio buttons.

Comment 3 Harald Sitter 2024-09-23 12:09:16 UTC

I think I can reproduce the problem. It also happens with pactl set-default-source and get-default-source so clearly an upstream issue. 

But... it disappears once I build pipewire from git. So I guess it is already fixed there :)
