--- Comment #21 from Kacper Paczos <[email protected]> --- Where this stands on current master (plasma-pa git20260825, Plasma 6.7.80), in case it helps someone triaging: The guard from comment #3 still does its job - with no capture device present, nothing shows up no matter what records a monitor. What is left is what comment #12 called the real problem: as soon as a microphone does exist, which on a laptop is always, a stream on a sink monitor is still announced as "<app> is using the microphone". Reproduction on a machine without a microphone (a VM will do): pactl load-module module-remap-source source_name=fakemic master=auto_null.monitor # stands in for the built-in mic, stays idle parecord --device=auto_null.monitor --raw /dev/null I did not go for hiding the item on monitor-only recordings, because of the objection in comment #5. Instead the wording and the icon now tell the two cases apart: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-pa/-/merge_requests/423 (filed against bug 498362, which reports the same thing from the labelling side). If hiding it turns out to be what you want after all, that is a small follow-up, but it would also drop the signal that something is capturing the speakers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
