Hello, I have wired headphones that I often connect to my PC. Sony MDR-EX155AP. These headphones have a button to pause/unpause whatever video/music is currently playing. The button works when I connect them to my phone or when I’m on windows, however KDE Plasma does not seem to react when I press the button.
It seems like KDE Plasma does support this because on my wireless headphones this works just fine. I assume it has something to do with the 3.5mm port? Any ideas on what might be the problem?
Does this behaviour occur for various applications or when playing via a browser only?
Reads similar to this ‘Plasma 5’ issue (perhaps never fixed)… https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403636
Anyway, have a read of it and see if any of it applies/helps. In the end you may need to report it.
Official lenovo website (my laptop is lenovo ideapad 5 pro 14ARH7) only says “headphone / microphone combo jack (3.5mm)”. I have no way of verifying what standard it uses and it’s just a minor inconvenience so I guess I won’t bother. Thanks for explaining.
