KDE/Wayland/Fedora - zoom confuses pavucontrol on default speaker #453

Open hellsworth opened 3 months ago

hellsworth commented 3 months ago

I have a common bluetooth headset: Bose QC 45. When i connect my headset via BT to my system, it works as expected across all apps. My settings audio panel (Plasma 6) clearly shows the device:

before-open-zoom

Then I launch the zoom flatpak to join a meeting and my device goes away completely from my settings and is not recognized at all:

with-zoom-running

Sometimes this workaround works:

  1. Connect BT headset
  2. Open pavucontrol and force the default speakers to be the internal laptop speakers:

pavucontrol-force-default

  1. Launch the zoom flatpak
  2. select the headset from the audio settings

This suggests that zoom is confusing pavucontrol as to what the default audio device should be. Also sometimes this workaround doesn't work and my headset is not visible in the zoom flatpak audio settings.

Same on Gnome 45.5. Zoom wreaks havoc on my audio by overriding Gnome's settings, even when set to default, and ends up dropping microphone audio anyways. I just downgraded to v5.17.5 (2534) for now.
