Settings related to sound controls Blank KDE 6.2.0

Went to look at trying to figure out sound balance between my two speakers but came up on a blank sound settings page. To be clear audio seems to be coming out of one speaker.

Failed units:

Click upper right the buttons, rename and configure …

They need to be manually added by renaming devices?

Just click, after that it maybe work, use forum search, you are not alone.

It works here after click on left side and back to sound

Unfortunately not on this end. WIll try to rename one of the sound and save to see if that works.

Odd thing, after trying to rename one of them, I am not prompted anywhere to save changes :frowning:

I mean, click on Bluetooth or something else and then back on Sound, sorry I am busy and my English is bad :slight_smile:

Yikes, that worked, I assume this is a KDE Bug with 6.2.x

Thanks so much for helping me out.

FYI this fix is temporary, goes back to blank screen after you close out of settings.

Yea There is a thread on the KDE forums about it already and I’d assume a bug report by now.

Mine did this but it started working again. Upgraded to 6.2 and installed framework 6.7 I believe. Don’t know if one of those things fixed it.
