Related to the request of 499037, but more in-depth (In reply to Adam from comment #0) > $rm -fv .local/state/wireplumber/ $rm -fv ~/.local/state/wireplumber/ Thank you for the bug report! Debian advises users to not submit bugs upstream (https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting), and Plasma 6.3.6 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE. It's possible that the issue exists only in Debian at this point. Could you report the bug to Debian using the report bug utility (https://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/reportbug)? If necessary, the maintainer of the package will forward the bug upstream. Thanks for understanding! Thanks again! |
Created attachment 185108 [details] Suggestion for where to add the hard reset button (could shift everything over to the left, and have this be the top-right button) SUMMARY When configuring audio devices via systemsettings kcm_pulseaudio , you are able to select a profile for a device which it cannot support STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. $systemsettings kcm_pulseaudio 2. Select any audio device, and open the 'Profile' dropdown for it 3. Change it to something absurd for that device OBSERVED RESULT Naturally, this causes the device to be, for all intents and purposes, unusable for what it was built for. EXPECTED RESULT A button present that will perform a "hard reset" on all audio devices & their profiles, allowing a "from scratch" re-detection of everything, which would fix even the most egregious user UI errors (might be as simple as running the commands in my WORKAROUND section :) ) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WORKAROUND (This removal command may be a little too general, but depending on what the user has misclicked, might be necessary): $rm -fv .local/state/wireplumber/ $systemctl restart --user wireplumber This should reset all audio device profiles to their defaults, and pipewire should auto-detect their ideal profiles. You will have to re-adjust volumes / captures for some of them, and restart certain apps (Chromium and Electron apps espeecially struggle with this), but you get your audio back
