Created attachment 135652 [details] Gif of the issue. SUMMARY The default microphone in Audio volume widget in system tray is Internal Microphone. But, it doesn't switch to headset's microphone when a headset is plugged in (Audio output switches without any issue). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Plug in the external headset. 2. Check the microphone in systems tray. OBSERVED RESULT The microphone is still internal. EXPECTED RESULT Microphone should be automatically switched to headsets. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora 33 KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.10.14-200.fc33.x86_64 OS Type: 64-bit
99% chance this is an issue in PulseAudio itself and not the applet. I would recommend filing a bug with Fedora (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/) or PulseAudio (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues/). Thanks!
Thanks. I have submitted it to Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1930623
This is indeed a bug in Pulseaudio: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues/194 But this bug has never been fixed properly until now. One possible workaround in KDE would be to make two different entries in the audio applet: one for the internal microphone, and one for the headset microphone.\ This way, we could easily switch to the headset microphone.\ Currently, one has to go to the audio part of the KDE control center.
