Hi,
thanks for the advice.
...except that it seems that the KDE-specific routing system isn't
working either. It sounds like things just don't get saved on disk.
Is this "KDE multimedia settings" the same as KMix? KMix should have a
list of "media roles", such as video, music, game, event etc. Each role
should have a list of audio devices, which you can prioritize by
reordering the list. Assuming that you have a similar settings in this
"KDE multimedia settings" thing, does the device-manager database
timestamp in ~/.config/pulse get updated after you change the device
priorities? (Wait 10 seconds before checking; the device-manager
database gets written to disk after a 10 second delay.)
If the timestamp doesn't get updated, then module-device-manager doesn't
write anything to the disk. In that case, check if module-device-manager
is even loaded with "pactl list modules".
I've investigated a little more:
1) the issue seems to be KDE specific, because if I use fluxbox then the
sink that I choose with pavucontrol sticks across reboots (to fluxbox,
but not KDE).
2) the module-device-manager seems loaded, this is the output of pactl
list modules:
Module #24
Name: module-device-manager
Argument: do_routing=1
Usage counter: n/a
Properties:
module.author = "Colin Guthrie"
module.description = "Keep track of devices (and their
descriptions) both past and present and prioritise by role"
module.version = "5.0"
3) I'm not clear which file specifically is the device-manager database
in ~/.config/pulse. In there, there is a file called
'19c51c60c1f643f584a4a976530e28f8-device-manager.tdb' and its timestamp
does get update when I change the "KDE multimedia settings" (that's the
same interface you get if you choose audio setup in kmix). The settings
I choose stick if I logout and log back in, but if I reboot they don't
stick...
Cheers,
Sam
