I'm trying to get my head around the profile concept in pulse. I made an udev row pointing at the following mapping: /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/steelseries-arctis-usb-audio.conf [Mapping analog-mono] description = Analog Mono Headphone device-strings = hw:%f,0,0 channel-map = mono direction = output [Mapping analog-stereo] description = Analog Stereo Headphone device-strings = hw:%f,1,0 channel-map = left,right direction = output [Mapping analog-input-headset-mic] description = Headset Microphone device-strings = hw:%f,0,0 channel-map = mono direction = input If I set "auto-profiles = yes" I get a bunch of profiles that are listed in Gnome sound settings both in Output and Input. Selecting an Output profile in the Input dialog and the other way around makes things very messy and the device is turned off and has to be selected again in pavucontrol configuration. When instead disabling auto-profiles and creating the following profiles in the file, it looks correct in Output (stereo and mono device listed), but in Input also Stereo output and Mono output is listed besides the mic input (which makes things messy again if they are selected). [Profile output:analog-mono] description = Analog mono output output-mappings = analog-mono priority = 60 skip-probe = yes [Profile output:analog-stereo] description = Analog stereo output output-mappings = analog-stereo priority = 65 skip-probe = yes [Profile output:analog-mono+input:analog-input-headset-mic] description = Analog mono output + Analog mono input output-mappings = analog-mono input-mappings = analog-input-headset-mic priority = 75 skip-probe = yes [Profile output:analog-stereo+input:analog-input-headset-mic] description = Analog stereo output + Analog mono input output-mappings = analog-stereo input-mappings = analog-input-headset-mic priority = 80 skip-probe = yes I have no idea how the priority works, btw. And I'm completely missing the point of the separate paths files (are they used with auto-profiles?). So the real question is, how can I prevent any other profiles from being listed under Input in Gnome sound settings? -- Johan Heikkilä <johan.heikkila at gmail.com> GSM: +358 50 589 33 22 PGP fingerprint: 716B1611DAC9267CE40CF90D6BC286B9F0FA6FD3 PGP signature: https://keybase.io/johanh/pgp_keys.asc 2017-08-14 8:11 GMT+03:00 Johan Heikkilä <johan.heikkila at gmail.com>: > > Thank you, I'll take a look at that. > > > Måndag den 14 augusti 2017 skrev Hui Wang: > > Probably your issue is similar to this > > https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2017-May/028252.html > >
