Device selection issue in General settings -> Audio

[davidhedlund]

Current Behavior

Devices should be listed immediately upon first attempt to change them without needing to close and reopen the settings.

Expected Behavior

Devices are not listed until after closing and reopening the "General settings."

Steps to Reproduce

There is an issue with selecting devices under the "Audio" tab in the "General settings" section. When attempting to change the "Device" for both the "TV" and "Gamepad" sections, no devices are initially listed. However, after closing and reopening the "General settings," the devices appear as expected.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Navigate to Options -> General settings.
2. Click on the "Audio" tab.
3. Under the "TV" section, try to change "Device" (used to change <TVDevice>, in settings.xml) -- nothing is listed:
   
4. Under the "Gamepad" section, try to change "Device" (used to change <PadDevice>, in settings.xml) -- nothing is listed:
   
5. Close the "General settings".
6. Repeat steps 1-4. This time, the devices are listed correctly:

Please specify distro. The audio engine in use will affect what Cemu can do; it reads the audio devices from it.

I updated the top post. Thanks.

I suspect this is a duplicate of #601, and that it only affects Linux distro's using Pipewire rather than Pulse, there is an upstream issue attributed to it that also manifests in Firefox.
