Description

In my audio output list in my sound applet, I have 7 devices listed but I only use two of them. I would like to know how to hide these useless devices. Thanks!

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Cinnamon sound applet and how it obtains and displays audio devices. Check whether the applet already exposes a setting or filtering mechanism for hiding devices; completion would require a clearly defined way to hide selected unused devices or document an existing configuration.
