I have this in my /etc/pulse/default.pa load-module module-ladspa-sink sink_name=ladspa_compressor master=alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo plugin=dyson_compress_1403 label=dysonCompress control=0,1,0.5,0.99 load-module module-ladspa-sink sink_name=ladspa_limiter master=ladspa_sink plugin=fast_lookahead_limiter_1913 label=fastLookaheadLimiter control=10,0,0.8 set-default-sink ladspa_limiter You need to replace "master=alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo" with your preferred hardware sink. Drawback: If this hardware sink is going away, e.g. because you change profiles, unplug the monitor that provides this profile, switching the soundcards' profile to off, etc.pp., then pulseaudio just hard crashes right away and refuses to restart until this profile comes back again or you comment out these lines in default.pa.
