Hello,
I want to be able to capture both the microphone and the system sounds at the same time. To help me do that I have put the following commands in ~/.config/pulse/default.pa which create a null sink:
load-module module-loopback source=alsa_output.pci-0000_0a_00.3.analog-stereo.monitor sink=MySink
When I first log in I can't record the monitor of Mic_and_system_sounds: but I can once I've run `pulseaudio -k`. Before I run that command, I can see Mic_and_system_sounds listed in the output devices in pavucontrol and nothing in the recording tab; once I've run `pulseaudio -k` I can also see the loopback to Mic_and_system_sounds from the microphone and from the soundcard in the recording tab of pavucontrol, and I can record the monitor of Mic_and_system_sounds.

Is there a way around having to run `pulseaudio -k` each time I log in in order to be able to record the monitor of Mic_and_system_sounds? I hoped that by putting the commands in ~/.config/pulse/default.pa I would be able to do that right away on logging in. I am on Ubuntu 20.04.
Many thanks,
Gareth
