I guess the opposite case, multiple input devices and a single output device, was improved here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-pa/-/merge_requests/340 I cannot reproduce This should already be fixed by https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-pa/-/merge_requests/351, which is included in the Plasma 6.4 Beta2 (Commit https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-pa/-/commit/79e7d38f13d12a2c9ba907af4d6e791b7e088dcc on the Plasma 6.4 branch) Is it the plasma-pa package also updated to the beta2 version?

Hm, this is weird - there shouldn't be anything specifics to inputs or outputs here, the same condition should cover both.
And when I add an output device, the single input device is padded, see the attached screen shot.
Going over the code again, I don't immediately see how this could happen.
Could I ask you to test whether it works correctly if only output and two input devices are present?
You can get rid of existing outputs by disabling them in System Settings, and you can enable additional dummy input devices with
pactl load-module module-null-sink media.class=Audio/Source/Virtual
Is there anything unusual about your setup that may be relevant?

Two input devices and one output
I observe the same with single output and two input devices.
I don't think I have any special setup regarding audio on my laptop. I can confirm I'm running plasma-pa 6.3.91. It got updated in the kde-unstable repo in Arch Linux here: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/plasma-pa/-/commit/88cbd6c31671c6798f31f789e3bc207b2e398f0b Any other ideas to help debug this? (In reply to Iyán M. V. from comment #5) > Any other ideas to help debug this? I'm at a loss here. While investigating this yesterday, I found that there was indeed a bug regarding this if you used it in a Right-to-Left locale like Arabic or Hebrew, where I got the adjustment wrong (some things need to be flipped left/right in the code in that case, and others must not, and I got the two flipped). But that shouldn't be the solution to your problem, that seems to be a Left-to-Right layout. Ah, looking through the Beta 2 tarball, I see it's missing the cherry-pick for the label alignment change, that is only in master at the moment. I just started the cherry-pick for that. I'm still confused why the mute button isn't indented in that case, the code for that was cherry-picked and seems to be in the 6.3.91 tarball. I'll build that tag and see if I can reproduce there. I can reproduce on the 6.3.91 tag, but not anymore on the current Plasma 6.4 branch (nor master). I'm not quite sure why the mute button isn't aligned in that case as the code for that is there, but I'm not sure spending more time on investigating that is worth it when the problem is resolved. The fix will be in 6.4.0. Thanks for confirming that this will be fixed in the final version :) Just a pity not all the relevant changes were included in the Beta 2 release. I rebuilt the Arch package from kde-unstable with the commit that was missing in the Plasma 6.4 branch: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-pa/-/commit/e485938d02e37d381a3aebe02763a2154b955a99 And that solves the issue. I guess the relevant change is the one happening in applet/main.qml in that commit, not in applet/ListItemBase.qml. (In reply to Iyán M. V. from comment #8) > And that solves the issue.

D'oh - yeah, the property that controls the whole thing was added in that commit as well, so it makes sense that the mute button also wouldn't work. Mystery solved. Thanks for testing, both the beta and the patch! |
