Force Pipewire to redirect audio to an unplugged headphone

The front audio jack of my computer case seems to follow the AC97 connection style, so from what I read it doesn't support jack detection when connected to an HD Audio connector. So it always show as 'unplugged' when seen in pavucontrol.

Ok, so I've tried to manually force the output selection to route the audio to the front jack via pavucontrol. It works, but after some random amount of time (can be from seconds to 10s of minutes) the audio is re-routed to the line-out jack.

I've been searching for a way to disable automatic jack detection with pipewire but couldn't find anything, any tip would highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Augusto.

Set the

["api.acp.auto-port"] = false

property on the device in question assuming you're using wireplumber to disable the automatic port detection. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WirePl … e_property
