Created attachment 160893 [details] Audio applet with many spurious audo devices SUMMARY *** The audio applets shows a long list of input and output devices, when really there are only 2. Moreover the list of devices is not updated when the USB-C dock is unplugged. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Plug-in USB-C dock with HDMI monitor and sound output 2. Compare output of `pactl list sinks short` and the list in the audio applet 3. OBSERVED RESULT `pactl` or `pavucontrol` only report the existing output and input devices (1 or 2 in my case). The audio applet shows a very long list of devices (see picture), which seem to be the same devices repeated over and over. Result of `pactl sinks list short`: 2792 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.hdmi-stereo PipeWire s32le 2ch 48000Hz RUNNING EXPECTED RESULT The audio applet should show the same devices as `pactl`.
