Quick Settings Audio Devices Hider For Linux

Have too many audio devices and your GNOME Quick Settings menu is way too crowded? If the answer is yes, and you want "an easy fix," then you might want to check out Quick Settings Audio Devices Hider.

Quick Settings Audio Devices Hider is a GNOME Shell extension that allows you to hide audio devices in the Quick Settings Audio Panel. You can hide or show devices from the extension's Preferences section.

In short, it's a very good solution for users who want to declutter the Audio Panel from the Quick Settings, allowing for a bit more clarity and faster switch times (between devices).

One of the best parts about this nifty extension (besides the fact that it's easy-to-use) is that it supports both output and input devices.

It's important to note that this extension only hides the devices in question, and does not disable them from the system. This means that all your audio devices will still be visible in the Control Panel.

Another thing that you should be aware of before using Quick Settings Audio Devices Hider is that the extension is not compatible with various other extensions such as Quick Settings Audio Panel, and even Quick Setting Tweaker.

In certain situations, Quick Settings Audio Devices Hider can be extremely useful, especially if you have, let's say, 10 audio devices that you don't regularly use. It's a nice way to declutter the Audio Panel section, and a quick way to switch between just your audio devices that are regularly in use.

You can install the extension from its official EGO page, or directly from Extension Manager, a must-have app for all GNOME aficionados.
