audio – ALSA/Pipewire: Make both internal speakers and headphone jack visible for selection
I am running Fedora 35 (previously 34) on a laptop. All is well except that I can’t make the system auto-detect the sound card. So I manually created the ~/.asoundrc file:
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 5
defaults.ctl.card 0
This sent sound to internal speakers. To send sound to headphones, I manually:
1/ Change the contents of .asoundrc to:
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.ctl.card 0
2/ Restart the pipewire service:
systemctl --user restart pipewire.service
Is there a way to specify BOTH device 0 and device 5 in this file (or elsewhere) so that I can select one or the other from the Sound control panel?
Many thanks!!!
