Created attachment 122244 [details] image of expected result SUMMARY it would be great to have a possibility to switch the default sound output device by double clicking on its icon in the tray menu. in my everyday system usage i have to switch all sounds from speakers to headphones and back, and for now i always have to go the menu and click 'default' to make it happen. i think that many kde users may find this option useful.

Here's a patch: https://phabricator.kde.org/D23386
Git commit 4a13cbf391b4faf30169fc096f0e7275248806b2 by Nate Graham. Committed on 16/09/2019 at 17:13. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Use visible buttons to switch the default device Summary: We get numerous complaints that it's hard to figure out how to make an audio device the default for playback or output. Despite the multiple methods (drag-and-drop, hamburger menu item, radio button in the KCM), it still seems un-discoverable for many users. This patch attempts to address the issue by standardizing on a single consistent method: {nav Make default} buttons right there on the list items for the devices, for both the applet and the KCM.The buttons are only shown when there is more than one device that could be the default. Various other elements of the UI are slightly adjusted or adapted to accommodate this change. Related: bug 408490 FIXED-IN: 5.17.0 Test Plan: Connected my Bluetooth speaker and toggled between it and the internal speakers using the new button. Applet: {F7341848} KCM: {F7341852} My wife was impressed by how easy it was and how the audio instantly switched.
