Summary: PulseAudio does not set up all outputs on a soundcard
as separate output devices by default
Product: PulseAudio
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium

Hi,
PulseAudio unfortunately does not set up all outputs on a soundcard as separate
output devices by default.
By default, each soundcard is only listed as one output device in the
pavucontrol "Output Devices" tab, even if the soundcard has more than one
output.
So, you have to switch between each output via the "Configuration" tab in
pavucontrol, as shown in the following screenshot for example:
https://www.maketecheasier.com/assets/uploads/2010/12/hdmi-pavucontrol.png
And it is not possible to tell one app to use the "Analog Stereo Output" and
another app to use the "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output".
Why aren't "Analog Stereo Output" and "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output" listed as
separate output devices on the "Output Devices" tab in pavucontrol by default?
As far as I understand, the user has to add each output himself via:
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:x,x
?
But why?
Why isn't this being done by default?
And could you please change it?
Regards
