I would love the ability to rename the audio device under the system sound settings, to fitting names.
Some hardware does return names, which are completely unfitting.
====Hide Audio Devices from System Tray====
It would also be cool to permanently hide devices from the System-Tray audio settings, for devices which you don’t use.

I second this. I unfortunately am running into a strange new issue with my laptop where the speakers are labeled differently in the full sound settings and in the sound widget in the panel.
Having the possibility to display a user chosen alias here would make things a bit easier, especially when using multiple outputs simultaneously. Like multiple BT-Audio devices or multiple audio jacks for speakers and headset.
Unless you are on Debian Stable, which probably still uses ALSA (or OSS) 
.
Since Pipewire and, for that use case additionally but usually installed with it, Wireplumber has matured:
Nobody prevents you from.
Seriously that “ALC312 Audio” and “VG4451215” or something alike for the monitor(s) only nagged me for 5 seconds, another 5 seconds later google showed the solution.
Some could argue handcrafting your own config text file is not suited for “normal mօrtals” but as far I remember that should still be easier than doing the same on Windows. 
Edit: Looks like, from the thread about its release, with Plasma 6.2 things are changing. Not sure if that means, more easily freely editable or (more) fixed to something from what I don’t know how reasonable for my setup / liking yet. Have to wait until 6.2 arrives on Arch.
Yea, Ive seen it in the latest KDE Blog, but was just waiting for it to get upstream to fedora.
Actually just did a System Update.
Thanks for the Reminder to use the feature xD
With some little issues, but granted Nice otherwise.
And please nobody tell me that that is a QT issue, aka someone else’s problem, which it probably is 
.
