Thanks of making Audio Switcher! I updated it for Plasma 6 if anyone is interested. It's a bit rough around the edges, but might be a jump start if you're interested in porting yourself: https://github.com/Natetronn/plasma-audio-device-switcher

9 Works super well on Nobara 37 (so basically Fedora 37). Icons don't work for any of my devices except my HDMI out, the rest just show little tiny boxes that are hard to click, but the names are correct.

check my fork https://github.com/lolcabanon/plasma-audio-device-switcher that fixes exactly this and add a little more. Original author does not merge pull requests, so I forked it, added other forks features and mines!

Awesome, I’ll check it out

Just like you did, I've merged together more forks into my own fork (plus a few extra features): https://denilson.sa.nom.br/blog/2023-11-10/pipewire-multiple-ports I don't think I'll keep maintaining it, I'll be happy if someone else adopts it and continues the work. Meanwhile, I believe it's the best fork today.

Works great, icon mode is really good for my task bar as it uses little space.

9 Works great so far! The only thing I didn't like is that it doesn't scale well for taskbar height - when it is small, widget goes off-screen on bottom

It works again perfectly. Thank you very much.

There was a big update on Manjaro in this week. Since that the "Audio Device Switcher" has not worked. It has not switched between outputs. KDE Palsma version: 5.22.3 KDE Framework version: 5.84.0 QT version: 5.10.49-1-MANJARO (64bit) Do you have any idea to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

It seems like that there have been some API changes since 5.22. Please try version 0.3 if this fixes your problem.

8 Spend a day, to fix that widget showed only current device. That answer helped me https://askubuntu.com/a/1000397/535462 Disign doesn't fit a bit

10 It is a very useful, essential widget

guerini

9 Very useful widget, thanks a lot! Ideas to improve it again: - possibility of switching between the ports on each device - possibility of hiding/showing some devices (and/or ports with the functionality above)

guerini

Another idea: - possibility to manage inputs too (devices and ports)

msundman

1 It doesn't allow any switching, it just shows whatever device I've selected in the audio device profiles.

Check this, it helped me https://askubuntu.com/a/1000397/535462

Thanks for the very useful tool! It would be great if you can add the option to specify which output device do I want to have in my Panel. I do have four output devices but I only use two of them, so it would be nice to only have these two in the Panel. Thanks.

It looks like it doen't work on plasma 5.13. Maybe it's my system, but I can't switch to my usb card, just the internal. Before the update, all was perfect on plasma 5.12.5.
