[Bug 486307] [NEW] system settings audio test plays sound regardless of actual situation

[Lars Noodén]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: systemsettings

Even with PulseAudio packages removed from the system, it still shows up
as a valid choice in the system settings.  A test of the sound (using
the Test button) plays sound.  It shouldn't if Pulse is not installed.
If pulse is not installed, then the test should not produce any sound at
all.

KDE's sytem settings -> Multimedia -> Video -> Output Device Preference

It looks like the system settings there have no relation to what is used
by the applications.  For example, no matter what I set in the system
settings, VLC still plays via the internals speaker.  Also, setting the
audio preferences inside VLC doesn't change where the audio comes out
either.
