--- Comment #5 from Benjamin Xiao <[email protected]> --- If it is intentional, then I propose that this behavior be changed to be more inline with other platforms. Windows, Mac, and Gnome do not do this AFAIK. I also understand that just like bug 432487, the intention here could be to bias towards a simple use case, but this behavior very quickly devolves if users have more than one audio device, which is very common today with HDMI, USB, and Bluetooth devices becoming more and more popular. Here's what I propose: 1.) Mute hotkey should by default only mute default device to match other platforms 2.) The "Force mute all playback devices" menu entry should be a separate "Mute All" icon instead of being hidden in the "More actions" hamburger menu. 3.) "Mute All" should get its own hotkey. I propose "Shift-Mute" if possible. 4.) (Optional) The new "Mute All" icon should display the new hotkey in its tooltip to aid in discovery. 5.) Expose new "Shift-Mute" hotkey in Global Shortcuts settings so that people can swap the behavior if they want to. Additional UI clean up: 1.) "Configure Audio Devices" should be moved out of the "More actions" menu as a separate icon as that's actually a frequently used feature for people who need to switch between HSP/A2DP modes on their Bluetooth headsets. "More actions" will be empty and therefore should be removed. What do you think Nate? Also, sidenote, how much dev effort is going into the Plasma PA widget and are they currently too busy with other tasks? I am a former software dev looking to get back into the swing of things and would love to knock off these types of low hanging fruit if needed. However, I am unfamiliar with KDE development and will probably need a few pointers to get started. Let me know if I can help. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
