Hello,
I’m trying to make a new pipewire audio profile to be able to have both analog (my headphones via 3.5mm) and digital (my desk speakers connected via optical cable S/PDIF) audio playing at the same time while retaining the ability to use my USB microphone.
Usually, I use my headphones and a USB microphone with the “Analog Stereo Output + Digital Stereo (IEC958) Input” profile. When I want to listen to music through my speakers, I need to switch to the “Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output” profile.
What I want to be able to do (and have always been doing on Windows with my sound card’s drivers without issues), is to turn my sound system on and have sound instantly without having to switch the audio profile, i.e. always having output on both my headphones and desk speakers.
I’ve tried following the instructions on the Arch wiki:
But the section is outdated and thus won’t work with my setup. It’s also still referencing pulseaudio instead of pipewire but changing certain pieces of the configs inspired by existing config files in:
/usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer/profile-sets/
and
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/
have not yielded positive results yet…
Does anyone knowledgeable know of a fix to achieve what I would like to do?
>>The sound card used is an ancient Asus Xonar DGX that to this day is rendering me loyal service.
Thanks for any help or advice in advance!
