I have the same problem, so I will add some more information. I have the Thinkpad X1 Carbon gen 9. When i enter the command "pacmd list-sinks" I see all audio sinks. The long name comes from the device.profile.name = "HiFi: hw:sofhdadsp: sink" and device.description = "Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller Speaker + Headphones" . So the Extension uses the profil name to create the name. But in the line device.profile.description = "Speaker + Headphones" would be the more useful name.
But I also didn't find the location in the Extension to change this.
Sorry, I'm not going to fix any issues for older versions and reevaluate the use-case for this extension for 43.
So this will be fixed at gnome 43? Nice, thanks.
That depends on how GNOME 43 is actually going to implement that in the quick settings.
I understand. Thank you for the effort.
Just to be clear: if GNOME decides to implement it in a way I think I can improve with this extension I'll probably come up with a solution. Probably :D.
If they manage to provide everything I need I'll definitely stop trying to hack around and monkey patch layout issues and focus on the features that are actually useful.
My laptop's internal sound card has a rather long name, and all of the sources and sinks it provides are prefixed with this name, so the various outputs are elided to an identical name and I can't tell them apart in the mixer:
I can think of a few solutions, listed in the order I'd personally prefer them:
Any of these would help me, but I think 2 would be the most user-friendly. I'd be happy to take a whack at implementing it if you'd like.
By the way, thanks for this extension; it's a necessary UI feature since I regularly switch between (at least) two audio outputs.
For context, here are the full lists of sources:
and sinks:
