Public bug reported: After using the following commands to create a mixer to add a soundboard to a mic input using pulseaudio, I notice that the "device description" is displayed correctly in each tab, but in the "Recording" tab it just shows "Null Output" for each device.
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=MUSIC pacmd 'update-sink-proplist MUSIC device.description="Dummy Input"' pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=MIXER pacmd 'update-sink-proplist MIXER device.description="Dummy Mixer"' pactl load-module module-loopback sink="alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo" pactl load-module module-loopback sink="MIXER" pactl load-module module-loopback sink="MIXER" Screenshot attached As you can imagine, it makes it hard to work out what's going on when devices all have the same name! ** Affects: pavucontrol (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Recording Tab with device.descriptions missing." https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791491/+attachment/5186681/+files/Screenshot%20from%202018-09-09%2008-39-54.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791491 Title: Null sink device description is not displayed on the "Recording" tab in pavucontrol To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pavucontrol/+bug/1791491/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
