That sounds strange. > Obviously selecting an input profile in the output view (and vice versa) isn't supposed to work, so something gets confused and the device disappears from Gnome sound settings and the Profile becomes "Off" in pavucontrol configuration.

I tried adding paths-input = analog-input-headset-mic, but it didn't make any difference. In the end there is no difference writing my own profiles. Now I just set "auto-profiles = yes" and have the same amount of profiles that seem to work fine (also the correct device has highest priority). And in pavucontrol it looks fine. But the problem is still that both input and output profiles are listed both in inputs and outputs in Gnome settings and selecting a wrong one switches profile to off. -- 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
