screenshot of systemsettings
SUMMARY
My PC audio card has three input ports (Rear Microphone, Front Microphone and
Line In). However, systemsettings shows only 2, and they are labelled
incorrectly. (See screenshot)
Pavucontrol does show all three. (see next screenshot)
Now this is where it gets interesting:
- If I set the input to 'Front microphone' in pavucontrol, Systemsettings will
(incorrectly) tell me it is set to 'Rear microphone'
- If I set the input to 'Rear microphone' in pavucontrol, Systemsettings will
(incorrectly) tell me it is set to 'Line In'
- If I set the input to 'Line In' in pavucontrol, Systemsettings will not show
anything in that field. (see third screenshot)
It looks like the labels of the inputs are all displaced by 1 (which makes me
think that it might be an array index problem).
The plasma volume control applet has the exact same behaviour. (it and
systemsettings show the same (wrong) label for the set input).
For the output devices I have the 'Line Out' and the 'Headphones' ports.
Pavucontol shows me a drop-down menu where I can select this, KDE
systemsettings does not. (presumably because it automatically switches to
headphones if it is plugged in, so a menu to manually select this would not be
useful?)
My hunch is that the drop-down menu where you can select the input port tries
to skip the 'Front microphone' entry similar to how it skips the 'Headphones'
entry. Which works fine on my laptop, which has only 2 input ports (built in
microphone, and the microphone jack) and thus has nothing to select, but
somehow messes up the input port labels on my PC which has 3 input ports.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have 3 input ports on computer
2. Start plasma
3. Open systemsettings and go the the audio section
OBSERVED RESULT
Labels of input ports are displaced by 1:
'Front Microphone' is displayed as 'Rear Microphone'
'Rear Microphone' is displayed as 'Line In'
'Line In' is not displayed
EXPECTED RESULT
Labels in selection drop down box are correct:
'Front Microphone' is displayed as 'Front Microphone'
'Rear Microphone' is displayed as 'Rear Microphone'
'Line In' is displayed as 'Line In'
