i spent a while getting pulseaudio to work, and its great. but, the audio output quick toggle in the sidebar wont show any devices. using pactl info shows that it works, and it appears in pavucontrol. i can change the volume in pavucontrol and alsa-mixer, but it won't show up in the sidebar quick toggle.

Reminder

• I agree that it's usually impossible for others to help me without my logs.
