[SOLVED] Using Wireplumber to rename I/O's of my Rodecaster pro II

Hello all,


This is the script I made in order to change the two sinks of my Rodecaster from the naming of "Pro" & "Pro 1" to their original Main and Chat naming as the device has set by default on it's own internally and through other OS's.

monitor.alsa.rules = [
  {
    matches = [
      {
        device.name = "alsa_card.usb-R__DE_RODECaster_Pro_II_GV0097761-00"
      }
    ]
    actions = {
      update-props = {
        device.nick = "RODECaster Pro II"
      }
    }
  }
  {
    matches = [
      {
        node.name = "alsa_output.usb-R__DE_RODECaster_Pro_II_GV0097761-00.pro-output-1"
      }
    ]
    actions = {
      update-props = {
        node.nick = "RODECaster Pro II Main"
      }
    }
  }
    {
    matches = [
      {
        node.name = "alsa_output.usb-R__DE_RODECaster_Pro_II_GV0097761-00.pro-output-0"
      }
    ]
    actions = {
      update-props = {
        node.nick = "RODECaster Pro II Chat"
      }
    }
  }
]

The location of the said script is 

/etc/wireplumber/

I have also tried the location as an alternative

~/.config/wireplumber/

My wpctl status is

I can also provide the wpctl inspect output for each sink if requested.

Now, my issue is that this has produced zero results in regards to the renaming of the sinks. Anyone can direct me please to a source that can help me, or to a solution? I can't see my mistake yet.

Have a great day!

EDIT: Updated title to reflect the issue better.
FINAL EDIT: Check the 5th comment of this thread for the solution. Issue resolved.

Re: [SOLVED] Using Wireplumber to rename I/O's of my Rodecaster pro II

I can confirm that I use the same syntax for renaming the display names in KDE Plasma.
Where "exactly" is your script located? I use ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/51-device-rename-alsa.conf

Where do  you want to see your change? In wpctl status or somewhere on Gnome?

PS: You did restart wireplumber, right? 

systemctl restart wireplumber --user

Thank you very much for the response.


The exact location of the file is

/etc/wireplumber/51-device-rename-alsa.conf

And I have also used the another naming of the file in the past with no success.

 /etc/wireplumber/55-RODECaster_Pro_II-rename.conf

And yes I have also used 

systemctl restart wireplumber --user

to restart the service as well as 

systemctl restart pipewire wireplumber --user

and of course rebooted many times.
No change.

Mind you, the device works flawlessly and it recognizes all input/output signals. I just want the rename to happen for ease of use when I select sinks for continuity through the devices onboard LCD screen and my OS/software.

I am honestly out of ideas, nor am I able to see where my error lies on my own, yet.

EDIT: And to answer your question too, I want to be able to see the device on gnome settings sound section, on pulse audio volume control and on qpwgraph so I can reroute things with no mistakes as to the naming of the sources. I wasn't clear about that before. Apologies.

Re: [SOLVED] Using Wireplumber to rename I/O's of my Rodecaster pro II

You need to figure out which device string all of these are actually using for display, sometimes it's a mix. Are your changes not reflected in the properties you see when checking 

pactl list sinks

? FWIW I'm fairly certain pavucontrol (actually most "user visible" software) will and should be using the device.description property, so try updating that.

Also agreed with above try using a "drop-in dir" as in /etc/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/5-RODECaster_Pro_II-rename.conf  since those are the ones actually looked at as snippets.

The naming isn't going through as intended as far as I can see.

FWIW I'm fairly certain pavucontrol (actually most "user visible" software) will and should be using the device.description property, so try updating that.

Already pacman -Syu and -Syyu many times, and removed and re-added the pavucontrol a few times. Great minds think alike.

Also agreed with above try using a "drop-in dir" as in /etc/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/5-RODECaster_Pro_II-rename.conf  since those are the ones actually looked at as snippets.

Well what do you know?

That last addition to the path of "/wireplumber.conf.d/file-to-be-renamed" did the trick....so that was my mistake, not adding the correct path, which for the sake of clarity is 

/etc/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/55-RODECaster_Pro_II-rename.conf

I also updated my script by adding the device and sinks description values in there.

monitor.alsa.rules = [
  {
    matches = [
      {
        device.name = "alsa_card.usb-R__DE_RODECaster_Pro_II_GV0097761-00"
      }
    ]
    actions = {
      update-props = {
        device.nick               = "RODECaster Pro II"
        device.description        = "RODECaster Pro II"
      }
    }
  }
  {
    matches = [
      {
        node.name = "alsa_output.usb-R__DE_RODECaster_Pro_II_GV0097761-00.pro-output-1"
      }
    ]
    actions = {
      update-props = {
        node.nick              = "RODECaster Pro II Main"
        node.description       = "RODECaster Pro II Main"
      }
    }
  }
    {
    matches = [
      {
        node.name = "alsa_output.usb-R__DE_RODECaster_Pro_II_GV0097761-00.pro-output-0"
      }
    ]
    actions = {
      update-props = {
        node.nick              = "RODECaster Pro II Chat"
        node.description       = "RODECaster Pro II Chat"
      }
    }
  }
]

EDIT: Added a second script for renaming the two inputs in case anyone wants to use.

Location of said script:

/etc/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/55-RODECaster_Pro_II_inputs-rename.conf

And the script.

monitor.alsa.rules = [
   {
    matches = [
      {
        node.name = "alsa_input.usb-R__DE_RODECaster_Pro_II_GV0097761-00.pro-input-1"
      }
    ]
    actions = {
      update-props = {
        node.nick              = "RODECaster Pro II Main Mic"
        node.description       = "RODECaster Pro II Main Mic"
      }
    }
  }
    {
    matches = [
      {
        node.name = "alsa_input.usb-R__DE_RODECaster_Pro_II_GV0097761-00.pro-input-0"
      }
    ]
    actions = {
      update-props = {
        node.nick              = "RODECaster Pro II Chat Mic"
        node.description       = "RODECaster Pro II Chat Mic"
      }
    }
  }
]

I honestly cannot thank you enough! What an awesome and simple advice! Thank you!

I am marking this as solved!! Thank you all
