The one that I'm most interested in is that if you select the "Off" profile, then there's still an output device. In the "pactl list" output there were three cards, two NVidia cards and one Intel card. The NVidia cards were set to the "Off" profile and the Intel card was set to a stereo profile. There was no sinks for the NVidia cards and one sink for the Intel card, so nothing seemed to be wrong. Are you saying that if you now set the Intel card to "Off" too, then the Intel card sink is still visible in pavucontrol? -- Tanu
