So what about the loopback module and the guide from the link?

pactl list short sinks and use the value for the loopback.

If you have trouble start the PA server with -vvv for example as described
in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_PulseAudio_problems

Then kill the existing server, with the command pulseaudio -k. Now launch
pulseaudio -v from a console, and reproduce your problem. Provide the
whole set of messages from the console where you ran pulseaudio. 


Also have a look here https://endless.ersoft.org/pulseaudio-loopback/

pactl info spits out this:

Which debian and pulse audio version are you on?

I've been hacking it in the past to solve some bluetooth issues and I know
there were issues before especially with the loopback module. However in
12.2 most must have been solved. I use the 12.2 with stretch and I saw that
12.x is default in buster. I think it was 12.5.

I did now

$ pactl load-module module-loopback
29
$ pactl list | grep loop
Name: module-loopback
Driver: module-loopback.c
Driver: module-loopback.c

so with 12.2 it works just fine. I recommend trying 12.2 on stretch or
buster.

Pulse error using module-loopback

[Aidan Gauland]

Hi,

I'm trying to follow a guide on setting up PulseAudio sinks for setup 
with Open Broadcast Studio 
, 
but the "pactl load-module module-loopback" step fails with the error 
"Failure: Module initialization failed".  I have been unable to find any 
reports of this error elsewhere, and I don't know how to get Pulse to 
give more verbose output.  Can anyone more familiar with Pulse hackery 
offer any insight?
