Pulse, wanted output: speakers + headset
Posted: Mon Jan 17, 2022 4:13 am
AMD desktop + Suse Leap (& other distros)
Many complaints exist about UNWANTED simultaneous headset and speaker output but there are times when that's exactly what I want. On my desktop XONAR-STXII soundcard there are headset AND speaker outputs, I would expect the pulse audio control dialog to offer output choices like
Headset
Headset AND speaker
Speaker
but the middle one is nowhere to be seen.
I did the paprefs bit but all that pops up is a "PulseAudio Preferences" dialog in which the "Simultaneous Output" tab has a single already checked box labelled "Add virtual output device for simultaneous output on all local sound cards" and NOTHING else. That's NOT what I mean by 'simultaneous''.
I could just physically double (Y) either output but I wouldn't wanna damage my speakers OR headset.
Has anyone had the same need and a solution for it?
