[Solved] Pulse Audio Preferences does not work after latest update

Hi All,

I have KDE desktop installed in my laptop.

I have installed Pulse Audio Preferences module from GTK2. This allowed me to chose headphone Jack output whenever I plugged in my headphones. This allowed the sound to be played in the headphones.

After latest update, paprefs has stopped working. When I run it from console, I get the following error :

Gtk-Message: 21:22:18.253: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

(paprefs:2134): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 21:22:18.260: Settings schema 'org.freedesktop.pulseaudio.module-group' is not installed
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

As such I am not able to switch to Headphone output for any videos being played.

Can you please help ? This is a real irritant ...

Thanks and Regards

Sachin

Update :

Installing other Pulse packages solved the issue.

Installing other Pulse packages solved the issue.

You didn't say what are these packages...

Anyway, if you use Pipewire and you can't make paprefs work, here is a video to fix this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2sNVXZpC1E
