I downloaded the source code for xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin_0.4.8 and built the plugin from that. Not sure why it wasn't included by default. -- -John (JohnDThompson(a)gmail.com) Appleton, WI USA

XFCE Missing Volume Control Plugin on AlmaLinux 9

Hi everyone, I’ve installed AlmaLinux 9 with XFCE on my notebook, but I noticed the xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin is missing. As a result, I can’t control the system volume directly—only through individual apps like Audacious or Firefox. I checked EPEL and even enabled epel-testing, but couldn’t find the package. Should I file a request for the plugin in EPEL, or is there a better solution considering AlmaLinux 9 uses PipeWire? As a temporary fix, I’m considering using pavucontrol, but I’d love to hear how others are handling this. Thanks in advance!

AlmaLinux 9 and XFCE sound problem
by Alessandro Baggi 23 Jun '25

Hey there, I installed Almalinux OS 9 on my notebook. I installed XFCE but I'm getting problem with audio because xfce4-pulseaudio plugin is missing and I can't change sound volume except on the specific program that play the music (In my case audacious and firefox). Currently I don't know if I must open a "please build xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin" on epel or if I should use something due to pipewire. I enabled also epel-testing to check if the package was in testing but seems missing. Someone has the same problem? Thank you in advance.
