There are way too many non-KDE applications. It would be nice to see many condensed into a KDE applications where it makes sense. An example would be managing sound cards and headphones. This is where I get lost.

dagmann Registered Member Posts 12 Karma 0	Re: Way too many applications Wed Oct 09, 2019 8:15 pm Sorry for the late reply, life's been hectic lately. There are too many programs dealing with sound. Examples: phonon, alsa, pulseaudio, pavucontrol, pavumeter, hdajackretask, and assorted Terminal commands around the Internet. Trying to solve sound problems is not easy ... for me anyway, I am new to Linux. Sure would be nice to have an application offering most of the above programs' features. And there are a few files dealing with sound: /etc/pulse/daemon.conf, /etc/pulse/default.pc, ~/./pulse/default.pa

All settings should be done through the System Settings, as alsa and pulseaudio (including pavucontrol) management are completely integrated into Plasma. Which distribution and Plasma version do you use? Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11 FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...
dagmann Registered Member Posts 12 Karma 0	Re: Way too many applications Thu Oct 10, 2019 12:50 pm Operating System: Kubuntu 19.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2 Kernel Version: 5.0.0-31-generic OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz Memory: 31.4 GiB of RAM I am trying to solve sound issues. Through System/Settings/Multimedia and looking at the Phonon display it shows my Creative sound driver for Surround Sound 4.0 But there is no Surround Sound, just the two front speakers. So people with sound issues are forced to use other programs to try and solve problems.
Mamarok Manager Posts 6071 Karma 16 OS	Re: Way too many applications Fri Oct 11, 2019 1:43 am I suggest you file a bug against Phonon, then. Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11 FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...
dagmann Registered Member Posts 12 Karma 0	Re: Way too many applications Fri Oct 11, 2019 11:43 am I posted the following solution for me in other forums as well as here. I was able to get my sound working correctly. Thanks for the attention Mamarok. Thread closed/solved. The secret weapons are: in daemon.conf ------------------------------- avoid-resampling = false enable-remixing = yes remixing-use-all-sink-channels = yes enable-lfe-remixing = yes default-sample-rate = 48000 alternate-sample-rate = 48000 default-sample-channels = 6 default-channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe And using AlsaMixer correctly!
