Bug ID: 472370
Summary: Selecting a different audio output device sometimes
won't change the output device for active applications
Classification: Plasma
Product: pulseaudio-qt
Version: 1.3
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: nicolas.fe...@gmx.de
Reporter: dcalv...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
Selecting a different audio output device sometimes won't change the output
device for active applications such as a game or a player, or a browser. You
need to change the application's output device individually by using the
"applications" tab in the volume control.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Be playing some audio on an application, youtube over brave browser for
instance.
2. Use the panel's volume control to select a different output device, such as
a headset.
3. Audio continues to play over the previously selected output device.
OBSERVED RESULT
Audio continues to play over the previously selected output device
I then correct this by going over to the applications tab in the aforementioned
volume control and select a different output device for the specific
application.
EXPECTED RESULT
Applications play over the device selected on the devices volume control tab.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This does not happen always, can't find a pattern to it.
Unsure if related, sounds like it could be:
Using the mouse scroll wheel to change the volume by having the mouse cursor
placed above the panel's volume icon also changes the volume of the previously
used device (and the associated system sound for each step of volume change
also plays over the previously active device) unless I open the panel and
manually slide the volume over the desired currently active device, only then
the mouse scroll wheel acts as expected. Same result happens with my keyboard's
dedicated volume keys.
