[jakob1379]

would love to have microphone volume too

[System64fumo]

This functionality is already supported though?

not on my machine 😓

When I mute/unmute and adjust volume on microphone the speaker icon appears.

Humm, You don't seem to be using a custom user config therefore you must be using the default which should already have listeners=audio_in,audio_out but just in case copy the config into ~/sys64/hud/config.conf and ensure those listeners are set because this works perfectly fine on my end?

I'm going to assume this is some nix os funkiness all over.

[jakob1379]

~/sys64/ seems rather unconventional in terms of XDG, why would it be there? Also the folder does not exist there, nor in ~/.config

[System64fumo]

Oh whoops.. I just realized i typed that wrong i meant ~/.config/sys64/hud/config.conf
Sorry about that 😅

running with gdb I found the issue

the icon is missing, but why it then uses the loudspeaker icon is a bit funky

[jakob1379]

If you are sure this is a nix-packaging problem I will make the issue there instead

[System64fumo]

Ah no then it's just your icon theme missing those icons, Try a different one see if that works.

Edit: I should probably provide you some known good ones to try just to be sure, I personally use colloid but papirus should also work just fine iirc.

[jakob1379]

in that sense it is a packaging issue, though I cannot make it work by adding more fonts to the env. I will have to do some testing and return
