In the case WirePlumber is used, what is the status of bug 998073? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998073 wireplumber: fails to automatically switch to headphones when connected (which is an issue for those who use both speakers and headphones and want to automatically switch between them). The upstream bug https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/wireplumber/-/issues/267 is still open and users are still reporting problems. There is no such issue with PA. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
