Stereo output + HDMI

so here is what is going on, I on the laptop watch youtube or edit my videos, while my laptop connected to the TV Screen via HDMI so my family can watch news/netflix or anything
in windows you can customize the audio output for each app so for an example spotify and opera gx use my laptop as a sound output, while my family watchs on the TV on "Brave"
but i couldn't really find a way to do this on arch
im using pulseaudio and im kind of new to arch

Re: Stereo output + HDMI

You can do this with pulseaudio, look at the gui of e.g. pavucontrol

If it's not obvious from that what's your card setup ?

aplay -lL
pactl list cards
pactl list sinks
#With something actively playing
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pactl list sink-inputs

Re: Stereo output + HDMI

i've tried pavucontrol but i cant use stereo output and HDMI at the same time its either stereo or HDMI alone

aplay -lL
bash: aplay: command not found

Re: Stereo output + HDMI

Right so it's one of those cases... You can configure pulses profile logic, the simplest case would be to just edit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/default.conf and at the end of the file you should have a commented out custom profile example, for your case that would need to look like

[Profile   output:analog-stereo+output:hdmi-stereo:+input:analog-stereo]
description = Profile showing both HDMI and analog
output-mappings = analog-stereo hdmi-stereo
input-mappings = analog-stereo

note to pick the correct one from hdmi-stereo, or hdmi-stereo-extra1 and so forth depending on which of them is the one actually producing audio if HDMI is connected. After you've done that a

systemctl --user restart pulseaudio

should give you the additional profile to select, exposing the HDMI sink as well to which you can then move streams in pavucontrol. To keep the setting that way, you'll want to add

NoUpgrade = usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/default.conf

to your pacman.conf so that your change doesn't get overwritten.

If that doesn't work still, we'll have to see the aplay -lL which you can get from the alsa-utils package.

Re: Stereo output + HDMI

Hello again
i did all the steps and tried both hdmi-stereo and hdmi-stereo-extra1, so i find the profile and i can switch between "built-in audio analog stereo" and "built-in audio digital stereo (HDMI) or (HDMI2)"
but when i choose in pavucontrol HDMI dont work

Re: Stereo output + HDMI

setup wise things are correct.

paplay -d alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo test.wav
paplay -d alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.hdmi-stereo test.wav

replace test.wav with a wav of your choosing. If that doesn't work but seems to play back while things are playing back

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
aplay -l
pactl list sinks
pactl list sink-inputs
