pavucontrol (Volume Control) does not work on Bazzite
I assume I need to do something in Flatseal to make it work, but I'm not sure, I'd apprecicate any advise.
The issue currently is that the sliders don't actually apply to my headphones or anything.

Actually, I don't care any more. The other one that does work, does support over amplication, which is what I needed.

bazzite uses pipewire
Yes, I know.
But so does fedora. This flatpak works just fine Fedora, arch, and other distros that only use pipewire.
I assume its something about the OS being containerized and it not being able to reach something
:clueless: thats all i know

works for me
Does not for me, on either install.
I switched to pwucontrol
i use easyeffects
wyd
I can't find anything in the logs or anything that would suggest why it would not work.
I use volume control to maintain my headset on aptx and for overamplication when I need it.
pavucontrol does not work 100% on the kde image if installed through flatpak as it conflicts with kdes own "sound" settings in the systemsettings, idk what image you are on
layering it will work though IIRC
I used distrobox
Works great
huh last time i tried it would reset anything i did that was not volume control, will have to try again
On the gnome version. I can move the sliders, but they don't do anything
in normal fedora they work fine
and I used it on kde/gnome on arch
Its just something with permissions in Bazzite I bet
but pwucontrol works fine
I'm using the gnome version
Literally just opened my fedora distro box, installed it, and ran it
Worked immediately
I was able to adjust the volume of both individual applications and of my headphones
Yeah, if I go up or down for my headphones or any apps, it doesn't stick
I'm looking at sound in settings as well, its not effected by the flatpak volume control app
I'm not even sure how to even prepare to troubleshoot this, I'll look into it soon.
@Kyle Gospo Can you show me the permisisons of your app on flatseal?
I'm not using the flatpak
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
Distrobox, no permissions
Well I don't want to layer the app, so flatpak was the way to go
I didn't layer the app
I just installed it in distrobox
I mean I get that, but isnt' that overkill for something like the volume app lol
No
Not at all
oh
really? maybe its just my thinking that needs adjustment
Does the icon still appear in desktop if its installed in a distrobox?
If you export it, yes
oh nice it actually works for me in kde too now, hello pavucontrol my old friend
