In living memory, I have not seen... I mean, heard these buttons work. Do these buttons work for *anyone* here?

Works here.

I usually use speaker-test -c 6 -t wav from a terminal and it works perfectly everytime. (Replace the number of channels as appropriate, e.g., for 5.1 setups, use 5 + 1 = 6)
Update: [SOLVED] See bug report. Arch users need to have the following two packages installed and it works perfectly:
- sound-theme-freedesktop
- libcanberra-pulse

They have always worked fine for me when the sound system was in otherwise normal condition.

Yes, they work for me.

Do you have surround sound?
1
Yup. Hence the need to test output from several speakers like the UI promises.

It's probably a driver issue, then.

Update: Apparently, I just needed to install two packages. See bug report for solution.
Yay!

Showoff. At least you can open the damn tab. For me the window blanks and I get a busy cursor.

Please also report a bug (if not already done)… see my other comment regarding this.
In your case, strace will probably provide valuable information:
strace -o /tmp/phonon-kcm.out kcmshell4 kcm_phonon
Then open the tab, wait for the cursor to go busy, then close the window again and attach the file /tmp/phonon-kcm.out to the bugreport.

strace -o -f if possible, thanks.

Last time I visited these bug reporting sites, they required I create an account. Although I understand that developers don't trust me to check back if I don't, it causes communities to lose out on many, many valuable bug reports. I'm just one of the many people that simply press the back button whenever a site wants me to create an account, or asks for an e-mail address when there's little for me to gain.
I suppose by now it's time for me to open an account, though.

not sure I agree. most of the bug reports are already duplicates or unreproducable. without making sure we can actually contact the reporters most of the reports would be just more useless noise we have to waste time on wading thorugh.
honestly, maintaining an open bug tracker is a pretty shitty job. I have a lot of respect for Myriam (who does a lot of the bug triaging for kde multimedia stuff) and the rest of the bug triagers, you wouldn't believe how much time they volunteer for making the lives of everyone a bit easier.

Middle ground can be reached. Anonymous reports can be closed automatically, but if anyone is making the claim that all reports made by people without an account would not be followed up on, is simply ridiculous. Increasing the barriers is not always a good thing.
I would like to thank Myriam. Sounds like she does important work. :)

Yes they work for me.

They work for me, as long as you select the right device you shouldn't have a problem. There should be a female voice that announces the text on the button.

That's some nice font rendering!
Mind sharing what setup you use?

They work for me for my HDMI audio output as well as my Arctic 5.1 headphones.

If they don't work, please report this as a bug at bugs.kde.org and make sure to provide all necessary related information, e.g:
Such a bug will never get fixed if it is reported on Reddit… If you have any questions on how to file a bug or get required information from your system, feel free to PM me or come to #kde-multimedia on Freenode.
Will do. Thanks. I just wanted to confirm that it works for somebody and isn't just a work-in-progress upstream.
Edit: Done... and solved!
