KDE Plasma Pulseaudio provides the user with a mechanism to control the volume of devices and applications using the Pulseaudio sound system.

KDE Plasma Pulseaudio allows the user to control the volume of output devices, application-level channels, input and recording devices. It allows the user to route audio to and from specific devices. KDE Plasma Pulseaudio consists of a system settings module and a Plasma widget, which can usually be found in the system tray area.

KDE Plasma Pulseaudio groups volume and sound settings for different channels or devices into the following groups:

- Applications: Applications that play audio, such as your music player or web browser.

- Recording: Change the volume of recording devices, such as a connected microphone or head set.

- Output Devices: Output devices, you can find your headphone jack or bass woofer or connected bluetooth speaker here, grouped under the sound card they are connected to.

- Input Devices: Sound input devices that maybe be connected to your computer.

- Configuration: This tab allows to set specific profiles to such as Analog Stereo or Digital Surround 5.1. For bluetooth devices, you can switch to the high-fidelity AD2P bluetooth profile here.
