[SOLVED] Pulseaudio sink index keeps changing when plugging earphones

Hi,
I mapped the XF86AudioRaiseVolume to the command `pactl set-sink-volume 9 +5%`. The thing is the sink index keeps increasing as I plug and unplug earphones. Any idea for a work around? Thanks

Assuming these refer to your primary sink you can use "pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5%" in order to not rely on the index (alternatively, specify the appropriate sinkname as spelled out in "pactl list sinks short")
