Assuming you are using GNOME, there is a slightly easier method. Click the right end of the top bar, then click the right-arrow which is to the right of the output volume slider. It will expand to a list of available output devices.
I have been using workstation for years. As far back as I can remember I have never seen a right-arrow at the end of the volume slider. It might have been there in gnome 3.8 or earlier, but I do not recall seeing it. I certainly have never seen it with gnome 40+.
It’s definitely there for me, it appeared with GNOME 43 (before that I was using an extension to accomplish the same result). I suspect that it supposed to only appear when there are multiple sound output options.
Hi,
I used this extension.
This one did the trick for me. Now I don’t know I have this installed or it’s appeared default, but when I get home I’ll check and give feedback.
Interesting that the volume bar at the upper right does that. I had never noted it, and after you said it works that way I tested it. With only one sound output active it does not show the arrow. When I plug in my headphones the arrow shows up and I can select from the normal hdmi output or the headphones. Thanks
This behavior wasn’t present when F37/GNOME 43 was first released, is there any chance you haven’t applied package updates at all in the last few months?
