It is absolutely silly that there is only a option for adding your microphone, but the developers have completely neglected the option to also add your headphones/speakers in the sound settings of Talk. What have NextCloud been thinking when building the Talk app /Desktop Client?
This is crazy and makes the app less useful. Nobody wants to have the sound from a online meeting coming out of the speakers or worse you cannot hear anything because you have no speakers connected to the system and since you have no out speaker/sound option you cannot do anything at allā¦
Donāt start the old trick of blaming it on the customer e.g. in this case on my Jabra headset it works perfectly fine in all other communications applications.
It is indeed a Nextcloud Talk issue in that the dev team never added the option for adding the output device.
I just saw this edit, if that is your intention, I can only recommend to take a look at the GitHub issues and if thereās none, create one. Posting it here in the hope someone sees it will not work out.
I added it afterwards because I did not wish to receive more silly stupid comments about my Jabra headset is the issue etc. as it is clearly not the issue here. The issue is how the developers built the āTalkā app and somehow missed to add an option for output sound device.
Nice to see that the issue is already to review on Github.
I really do not understand how you can miss to add the option of choosing output sound device. But heyā¦ I guess things like this can happen and as such it did.
Its like building a Ferrari but you only add the front wheels and tiresā¦

As for @scubamucā¦
Its sometimes better just to stay silent and not comment on a thread at alll when you do not fully understand itās topic/subject and/or have no knowledge about it.
Everything you said/claimed, plus your recommendation was 100% incorrect and thus not useful.
Advising forum users with the incorrect advise is harmful for the whole community which I think @SysKeeper indeed agrees with.
You really should tone it down a notch or two, especially since your own posts were not exactly humble and full of your own assumptions and prejudices. To be honest, you should be happy that someone replied at all.
@scubamuc does a lot of work for this community, and if he made an incorrect assumption here, so be it. We are all volunteers, trying to do our best to help and point people in the right direction, and there is, of course, no guarantee of help, just as with FOSS in general there is no guarantee that every feature you consider essential will be implemented immediately.
By the way, with a little effort you could have found the GitHub issue yourself. But then you wouldnāt have been able to tell us how crazy and silly it is that this feature isnāt already included. Yeah, the devs clearly must have forgotten about it
Just a friendly follow up. As Skype are not shutting down this is becoming a more vital interesting app to use for our company (And probably other companies too). Is there any road map or something when you guys plan to roll out the improved version where you can chose devices for out going sound too like more most standard apps allows these days?
Yes, I read it, and I noticed that someone with the same profile picture asked almost exactly the same question over there, so I guess that someone was you then
Either way, I thought it would be useful to post the link to the answer here in case others have the same question and might stumble across this thread.
I after I wrote here I figured I might as well just go straight to the source. Plus I wanted to add to the issue that it is quite annoying that there is no sound testing feature in the āTalkā app, which is more or less an industry standard in most voice apps.
But as you might read there they plan to hopefully roll out the Talk app update with more sound device options (speaker/headphone etc) in June 2025ā¦
So roadmap?
Yes, sort of I suppose one could sayā¦
Spare me for the
