Description EpicTux123 2025-02-15 21:05:59 UTC

I use the command

"pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ 16%"

to set my default volume back with a shortcut.

In previous KDE versions, the command made the audio pop-up (which appears when adjusting the volume) appear in the screen, indicating that the audio has been set. However, since either 6.2.0 or 6.3.0 (can't recall exactly), it does not appear anymore on the screen whne using the same command.

Using PipeWire.

Operating System: Fedora Linux 41
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.11.4-301.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

By "audio pop-up", I mean the OSD.

Comment 2 EpicTux123 2025-02-15 21:07:27 UTC

The command works; it's just that the audio OSD that used to appear doesn't appear anymore.
