Only shows "Extension initialising..." about gse-sound-output-device-chooser HOT 16 CLOSED

Just wanted to confirm this issue. I'm running GNOME 3.24. I do get two HDMI devices under "Port Settings," but changing them from default to show/hide doesn't affect the "Extension initialising..." menu item. I noticed the following warning in my journal:

Apr 20 11:38:57 hermes gnome-shell[6297]: JS WARNING: [/home/hackel/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/base.js 167]: reference to undefined property this._availableDevicesIds[(intermediate value)]

can you try
journalctl -rb | grep "JS LOG:"

from gse-sound-output-device-chooser.

It seems this happens if you have no input devices plugged in. If you plug in microphone (or at least plug headphones into mic input - that is poor man microphone setup) the entry no longer stuck in initializing state and shows that input device. When the microphone is unplugged again the entry does not disappear but neither show any input devices. I suggest the input devices entry should not be shown at all is such scenario, or shows information about no available devices.

Now that I installed the Volume Mixer extension, your extension does not show up at all ):

Hmmmm....
After installing Volume Mixer and then disabling it in the extension manager, your extension is up and running. If you want to investigate further, I am happy to deliver logs or stuff. Otherwise you can close this issue.

I haven't used the extension with Volume Mixer for long, can you send the output of the command

journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell

from gse-sound-output-device-chooser.

Log is empty:

journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell

All the devices are removed immediately after adding, did you by any chance hide all devices in the "Port Settings" in the extension preferences?

Another possibility is the extension is unable to determine the availability properly. Try setting "Show" for all ports under "Port Settings"

Thanks for your help!
But there is not such thing like "Port Settings" in my GUI. Take a look at the screenshot above...
Or is that the wrong settings GUI?

PS: Same behavior on my laptop computer... No port settings.

It seems to be a problem with the extension. I will check the code. As far, "Port Settings" missing, there is a failure in retrieving the list of devices. It usually happens when you use any language other English as display language, I am looking into alternate ways to get the list without any language dependency.

Cool! Thanks for investigating.
FYI: I switched Gnome-Language to British-English and restarted Gnome. But still the Port Settings stay empty. Or should I have switched to US-English? :)

I had the same problem!!
Before that message started to show I have installed pulseaudio-equalizer and enabled it. I just disabled it and the error stopped.

#51 should fix the problem, no when there are no input device it will be be hidden (instead of showing 'Extension initialsing...'

Please verify whether the latest version fixes these issues
