[SOLVED] Wrongly configuring audio device mode causes device imprac...

A few months ago, I changed the mode of both speaker and microphone on the same soundcard via plasma-pa - the speaker as "analog input" and the microphone as "analog stereo output".

Sounds silly, right? Before this I did some other mode changes but nothing wrong as these changes can be undone - the soundcard was still usable as both speaker and microphone are on the same soundcard.
But this time was different - when I set the speaker as "analog input", the speaker disappeared from plasma-pa panel.
I tried to change the mode of microphone into an input-and-output mode when I thought they would sync the changes, and they exactly didn't.
Then I changed the mode of microphone into "analog stereo output". This time both speaker and microphone disappeared.

I searched and tried some help and no use.

For my current user the soundcard is not usable. The root user can use it but do not output sounds.

Here are some output of some commands:

Re: [SOLVED] Wrongly configuring audio device mode causes device imprac...

Sorry for the late answer randomly stumbled on this again. You are running fluidsynth as root which will take away control of your audio device from your normal session leaving you with just HDMI.

Do not start fluidsynth as root, if you are using the systemd service disable the system wide service and enable the user service instead and change the configuration so that fluidsynth uses pulseaudio directly as an audio driver: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/FluidS … PulseAudio

Thanks a lot that the device came back immediately when I disabled the fluidsynth system service, and I have successfully reconfigured fluidsynth.
