Additional Information

I have added the permission for background portal in flatseal. The permissions for the pulse audio server and the sbusses as well.

[wwmm]

When I close the window all of the effects that are working great when the window is open disappear.

Assuming that Shutdown on Window Closing is not enabled the only possible explanation is that somehow EasyEffects was not launched with the option --gapplication-service. If everything is fine with permissions and Launch Service at Startup is enabled a new login should autostart EasyEffects with the service option.

[JL710]

I have not enabled Shutdown on Window Closing. But I have also not enabled Launch Service at Startup

I will try if that works when I restart my system tomorrow. Can I run it with --gapplication-service somehow manually?

[JL710]

When I start the app with --gapplication-service it can run in the background but the window does not open anymore.

[wwmm]

When I start the app with --gapplication-service it can run in the background but the window does not open anymore.

Execute EasyEffects again in a different terminal while the process started as service is still running.

[JL710]

Yeah. That works.

[wwmm]

Usually just clicking on EasyEffects launcher icon is enough to make all of this happen. I wonder what went wrong.

[JL710]

I wonder too.

[wwmm]

Do you have any idea @violetmage ? It seems to be one more of those cases where Flatpak seems to fail to get the proper permission.

[JL710]

I had to restart my pc a few minutes ago and with Launch Service at Startup it works automatically in the background.

[violetmage]

It sounds like somehow the desktop entry is not adding the --gapplication-service flag somehow.

It doesn't seem plausible, I will try to think of what else could be wrong.

OP: How are you normally launching easyeffects, so that the problem occurs? With a shortcut? Launcher button?

[JL710]

I launch the application trough the application launcher of kde.
Here is a screenshot auf the entry that was generated:

[violetmage]

Strange. The desktop entry looks correct.

Are you using a keyboard shortcut to close the easyeffects window?

Sending a "Quit" signal instead of "Close" to easyeffects would cause the behavior you're describing.

[JL710]

I am not sure what signal kde is sending. I am using the normal x button in the title bar of the window. No Shortcut or else. Just a click on the "close" button.

[wwmm]

I am not sure what signal kde is sending. I am using the normal x button in the title bar of the window. No Shortcut or else. Just a click on the "close" button.

Clicking on its close button is fine. Besides this there is also keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+W and Ctrl+Q. But Ctrl+Q makes the whole application to exit instead of just closing its window. That is what @violetmage was thinking about.
