Hi all,
I have a couple of issues with “Sound” on Gnome:
-
When I plug my wired headphone in, the sound system does not switch to it automatically. Similarly when I unplug the headphone I usually have to go to the sound panel and change the output back to the speakers. Shouldn’t this be automatic? Is there a way to see what’s preventing automatic switching?
-
I have no idea what are some of these devices:
-
My Yeti microphone doesn’t have an S/PDIF output – not sure what is that item in the list. Why does it appear in this list (item 5)? Also it has a microphone icon but it is listed in the output devices and not input devices. Shouldn’t the icon be either USB or Speaker?
-
Similarly I don’t think the headphone output channel of the Yeti microphone has two “No Bass Boost” and “Base Boost” modes and I was curious why are they showing in the list? (items 6 and 7)
-
My speakers are not USB – I have connected them to my PC using a 3.5mm to dual RCA cable. Why is it listed as USB?
-
In general the names for items 1 to 4 don’t make any sense and are not descriptive enough.
Is there a way to make the item names more meaningful and disable some items completely so that they don’t appear in the list?
