Linux Sound Device Manager
(lemmy.one)
pavucontrol probably the best option given your distro. Go with that.
pavucontrol does seem to work well. Just need to choose an easier way to switch now. Thank you kindly.
I use Pop and have a Gnome extension that helps with this. I’m not at home now and I can’t remember the name but I can report back later.
Doing a quick search on this gave me “Application Volume Mixer” but I don’t think this is the exact extension I have.
Okay the extension I have is called “Sound Input & Output Device Chooser.” I think that if you install this and the Other extension above your problem will be solved.
Hah, what a novel name, thank you.
KDE's default audio widget is so good, you can congifure your audio devices and mic individually but also on a per app basis, but I suppose pop os doesn't use kde
As Chais mentioned use that, but also Gnome has volume per app in sound settings I believe...once the app is playing sound.
I think that it does as of gnome 43+. Oddly enough Pop_OS ships with gnome 42.5. Which seems to have been the issue.
This is what I use for switching: https://pastebin.com/J5VT03eq
It uses pactl (should work with both Pulse and pipewire-pulse) and KDialog to list available sinks.
Ohh what a neat solution, thank you!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
