linux-gui VS indicator-sound-switcher

Until this application is enrolled, I just found quite an interesting project which could help, I think I will also try this. Maybe I can report how it is going when I got it to run: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-gui

ProtonVPN is also available with a graphical interface, but it is only a beta.

git clone https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-gui

It is in beta.

for sound options it will only list sources that exist, so plugging in a device - to a line out, to a headphones port, to an onboard hdmi - should add populated options to the sound settings tab. I'm a fan of - https://yktoo.com/en/software/sound-switcher-indicator/ - for a source selector from the desktop, and for pulse audio options for simultaneous output.

i found this sound switcher - https://yktoo.com/en/software/sound-switcher-indicator/ - very handy. I often switch between headphones and speakers, and using pavucontrol for outputting to both.

I was using indicator-sound-switcher to toggle my sinks. One nice thing about it is that it makes it simple to set hotkeys to toggle devices.

I use sound switcher indicator

I found this tool, hope it's helpful.

The only thing close to what I need is this : https://yktoo.com/en/software/sound-switcher-indicator/ but with that I still can't see what output is selected.

You should check the dependencies. This source file for example imports gi and then uses that to load GTK libraries. The required packages for this to work should be in depends.
