📰 KDE Plasma 6.7 will finally fix the most annoying part of tweaking your microphone volume
As much as I hate hearing myself over a microphone, I have to admit that listening to yourself while adjusting your mic volume is vital. That way, you know you're not coming through too quietly or too loudly, and you can get a feel for the audio quality, too. Windows has had this feature for a while now, but unfortunately, KDE Plasma won't let you.
