Bug ID: 400979 Summary: Device Preference "Test" button ignores selected device, only plays to default Product: systemsettings Version: unspecified Platform: Compiled Sources OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: kcm_phonon Assignee: sit...@kde.org Reporter: j...@keelhaul.me.uk Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY The tool tip over the "Test" button says that it should test the selected device, i.e. the one selected in the scrolling list. However, it appears to ignore the selected device and always plays the test sound to the default one. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open System Settings - Hardware - Audio and Video - Device Preference 2. Click "Test", the test sound plays through the default (initially selected) device (on my system, "HDA ATI SB, ALC888 Analog Default Device). 3. Select another device (on my system, "HDA NVidia, HDMI 1 HDMI Audio Output") 4. Click "Test" again, the sound again plays through the default device. No sound is heard over HDMI. OBSERVED RESULT Test sound is always played through the default device. EXPECTED RESULT Test sound should be played through the selected device. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: MacOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.14.80 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0 Qt Version: 5.11.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Phonon backend: VLC Phonon-VLC version (shown on Backend page): 0.10.2 VLC application version: 3.0.3 PulseAudio in use: no Sounds play correctly through HDMI with aplay or the VLC media player. Bug 390270 seems similar, but is referring to the "speaker test" page (the one that is no longer in plasma-desktop as of commit 06c8b9ba on 26 Jul 2018). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
