Settings
set your headphone and speaker devices in preferences
then you can switch between those devices with a click of a button:
(you can see the switch between the audio sources in the volume output device window above called Tonausgang here)
Note: the devices for headphone and speaker must be two separated devices, and not a shared one with different ports (like build in Speaker/Headphone devices).
In that case only one device can be seen in the preference selection window.
With the Show Indicator switch you can also control if you want to show a system icon tray or not.
If true the icon is shown.
You can also use hotkeys for:
- toggle Speaker/ Headphone
- default: ctrl+super+T
- select Speaker
- default: ctrl+super+S
- select Headphone
- default: ctrl+super+H
You can enable those in the settings:
Note
if you want to change the hotkeys, you need to do those in gsettings using gsettings
the path is: /org/gnome/shell/extensions/toggle-audio/
Follow the instructions on the wiki
You can control whether you want to use colorful or symbolic monochrome icons.
PS: You can even customize the used icons if you want
with 2 audio devices:
- Gnome 47:
- EndeavourOS Linux
- Gnome 46:
- Ubuntu 24.04 (hardware)
- Gnome 45:
- Ubuntu 23.10 (VM)
- Nobara 39
Ideas:
- Disable Toggle Button as long Connection is not possible instead just queuing
