Display virtual streams in audio control applet

Simply this. Is there a way to display virtual streams in the popup audio control applet? If not, is there a simple 1 or 2 clicks way to adjust virtual stream volume without having to use other applications like pavucontrol or qpwgraph?

Just enable showing virtual devices from the audio devices widget:

That only shows virtual devices, not virtual streams. I’m creating a loopback stream and it doesn’t show with it either checked or unchecked.

In my screenshot you can see 2 loopback devices that were created using Pipewire configuration for libpipewire-module-loopback

@Tepiloxtl - how are you creating the virtual streams? Are you using PipeWire or PulseAudio?

Can you show the output of kinfo (or use Info Center Copy Details button)?

I’m using pw-loopback command: pw-loopback --name=ā€œLiveGamerLoopbackā€ --capture-props=ā€œnode.target=alsa_input.usb-AVerMedia_Technologies__Inc._Live_Gamer_MINI_0000000000513-03.analog-stereoā€ --playback-props=ā€˜application.name=ā€œLive Gamer Monitorā€ā€™

Thats how it looks in pavucontrol, for reference. It shows in Virtual Streams section

I also need Virtual Streams support. Use case: Defining what LADSPA plugins deliver their output to, example cross-feed plugin for better headphone listening:

pactl load-module module-ladspa-sink sink_name=crossfeed-CORDA plugin=bs2b label=bs2b control=650,9.5

(using package ladspa-bs2b)

Now, you can send music output to the crossfeed-CORDA virtual device but because the virtual output stream is not listed under ā€œApplicationsā€, you cannot direct it to the physical sound card for output.

pavucontrol allows you to route that as mentioned before.
