Applications muted in CachyOS (KDE x11) can't be unmuted after switching to Bazzite (KDE Wayland)

I had moved from CachyOS (KDE x11) to Bazzite (KDE Wayland) and kept my home partition, but now i have a problem where certain applications can't be unmuted because there is no speaker icon nor a volume slider on the applications in "Icons-and-Text Task Manager" i'd really rather not have to lose ALL of my settings and configs, so... My Questions: is there a way to get the icons/volume slider to show on the task manager in wayland? failing that, is there a way to reset KDE's cached volume/muted applications? or worst case scenario, is it possible to switch Bazzite to x11?

there were muted applications listed in a different file in ~/.local/state/wireplumber/ so i removed the entire folder and rebooted my system now i'm starting the modpack in the flatpak version of Prism Launcher(Minecraft if you weren't aware already) i'll let you know if that fixed it nope

games are ran through proton and a prefix so flatpak isn't involved here so your issue is likely something related to stale flatpak data from cachyos that is all stored in ~

how do i clear that, just remove the ~/.var/ folder? or is there something in ~/.local/share/ or ~/.config/
CheckYourFax

is there anything in the override folder in ~/.config/flatpak/overrides that's where permission overrides are
Jimmon
JimmonOP•4d ago
~/.config/flatpak/ doesn't exist
CheckYourFax
CheckYourFax•4d ago
sorry wrong folder i think its ~/.local/share/flatpak/overrides is there anything there?
Jimmon
JimmonOP•4d ago
yes, i just deleted it
CheckYourFax
CheckYourFax•4d ago
that will reset all your permission overrides to default you could try rebooting see if its fixed? otherwise it might be sandbox data as well
Jimmon
JimmonOP•4d ago

no problem! glad since now you don't have to delete your actual sandbox data next step would've been to .bak your .var/app folder 😭
