"pactl load-module module-combine-sink" ... then use pavucontrol to connect the input (sink) of module-combine-sink and its output to devices on your system. No messing with rc files. Depending on your needs you may need a USB audio device. I use the BEHRINGER XENYX 302USB ($50 on Amazon). It provides 2 inputs (mic and line) that can be mixed and brought back to the computer and also a USB audio out that can be sent to line out and a headphone jack simultaneously. So that gets you 2 outputs. The third could be sent to the computer's audio device output all done with module-combine-sink and pavucontrol. The BEHRINGER XENYX 302USB also gets you bass, treble and pan controls. Plus you would have the ability to send 2 different sound sources to the internal audio card and the USB BEHRINGER XENYX 302USB ... so music in another room (wired) and watch a movie on the computer. Add a bluetooth gateway connected to a HiFi in another room (about 30 feet range) and you have a third output to send another source to with a few settings in pavucontrol and the appropriate modules loaded if necessary. Note: I use bluetooth a lot and have been through many problems with getting KDE plasma to connect (all fixed now) and dropouts from the wireless router using the lower band that directly conflicts with the bluetooth band of frequencies. So the fix was using the 5GHz band wifi. ..Bob -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
