Bluetooth manager
consultation..
I have connected my devices to the laptop but I don't see the option to raise and lower the volume from the sound app.
I searched through all the settings and only have Kmix installed as default.

Re: Bluetooth manager
Look in application menu to see if kmix/kmixer app is listed.
Should look like this, https://apps.kde.org/kmix/

Re: Bluetooth manager
I only get the sound of the laptop,less than HDMI control volume..
The other icons you added to the image do not appear. I guess it's a problem with the Trinity desktop because in the Plasma version that didn't happen.

Re: Bluetooth manager
Im curious as you dont mention what hardware or sound card/chipset you are using. Do you need Kmix specifically for your hardware?
Is Pulseaudio installed and is it available? You could use it instead and it should work fine.
I dont use Trinity, I use Plasma and sound even with my much older hardware is not an issue.

Re: Bluetooth manager
It is an integrated sound card of an Asus S550CB laptop. The problem is, as I said, the other HDMI sound mixers don't appear when I connect the Bluetooth speaker. the sound works perfectly but not from the default system app. For example, when playing YouTube only on the page, it only handles the sound there. is it understood?
The system sound app does not handle other connected devices so to speak

Re: Bluetooth manager
Pulse audio is a sound manager thus is very capable of handling a variety of devices, sound sources and other multimedia. Pulseaudio is typically the default so I was trying to understand why you were using Kmix or why it may be the only sound app.
Pulseaudio should see the HDMI sound settings with no issues and also has a GUI for controlling sound settings.

Re: Bluetooth manager
It turns out that Kmix is my default app.
Is there any way to switch to Pulse Audio? By the way, the problem is solved.
Thx buddy

Re: Bluetooth manager
You dont switch to Pulseaudio as its a sound server, it will work with Kmix. You can install Pulseaudio if you need to and configure Kmix to work with it,but given youve solved the issue, Id leave things alone for now.
To my knowledge Q4OS Trinity uses Pulseaudio by default.
