I can confirm this bug as well. After a brief investigation, it looks like PulseAudio is started properly, but Phonom audio routing doesn't use it fully. Many pages mention something about "starting pulseaudio and routing KDE to is".
It looks like there are two scripts to start pulseaudio: start-pulseaudio-x11 start-pulseaudio-kde The second one should also enable the proper audio routing, so devices show up properly instead of having one single entry for "PulseAudio Sound Server". Unfortunately the script start-pulseaudio-kde is not part of the system and I can't find it anywhere. I can only find start-pulseaudio-x11 in my system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1684108 Title: Broken Audio infrastructure on Kubuntu 17.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/1684108/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
