Greetings, I sent a request to this PA mailing list two years ago asking about on-the-fly sound card configuration: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2019-April/031017.html and then a year ago, I pinged the mailing list regarding the same topic: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2020-April/031682.html Thanks to Tanu and Georg for helping out and answering questions! It appears the messaging API has been integrated into the v15.0 release - so I decided to upgrade my system in hopes of utilizing that API to disable on-the-fly jack detection. Unfortunately, after the upgrade, the option to set my sound card as an Analog Stereo is no longer present. In the drop-down in the Sound Preferences configuration window I see the following: Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output + Analog Stereo Input Digital Surround 5.1 (IEC958/AC3) Output How do I configure this sound card, which up until today could be configured as an Analog Stereo, to be Analog Stereo? If the messaging API can handle disabling jack detection on-the-fly, is anyone able to help me configure my system to perform that disabling? I am running: $ apt policy pulseaudio pulseaudio: Installed: 15.0+dfsg1-2 Thanks for any help! -m
