Bug ID: 411563
Summary: Need a way to visualize microphone's current recording
volume
Product: plasma-pa
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm
Assignee: now...@gmail.com
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
This comes up every time I do an audio or video call. Because there's currently
no way to visualize current recording device's sensitivity level, I can never
tell whether my microphone is working right before I join the call. This leads
to situations where after I join the call, nobody can hear me because the
microphone isn't recording at all, or the sensitivity level is much too high so
everyone else on the call gets annoyed. In either case, time is wasted as I
adjust my microphone, and I look stupid.
It would be ideal if plasma-pa had a visualizer for the microphone's current
input level so you could see in advance whether your normal speech level was
being picked up properly by the microphone. This would allow you to adjust the
microphone's volume with the visual feedback necessary to actually see when
you've done it properly.
This should be in the KCM, and possibly in the applet as well.
