[SOLVED] Audio breaks after every suspend/change of VT

I referred to https://pipewire.pages.freedesktop.org/ … -migration and eventually came up with this

monitor.alsa.rules = [
  {
    matches = [
      {
        # Matches all sources
        node.name = "~alsa_input.*"
      },
      {
        # Matches all sinks
        node.name = "~alsa_output.*"
      }
    ],
    actions = {
      update-props = {
        device.profile-set = "analog-only.conf"
      }
    }
  }
]

and then run

$ # as non-root
$ systemctl --user restart pipewire.service 
$ systemctl --user restart wireplumber.service

and then moved to other VT and back, and the audio is gone, as "usual". (Much easy to recover after some earlier cleanup steps + using wiremix.)

I should probably try with `profile` instead of `profile-set`. I kept `profile-set` because the migration guide I linked turns

["device.profile"] = "pro-audio",

into

device.profile = "pro-audio"

and since the first link has

["device.profile-set"] = "analog-only.conf",

I kept the `-set`.

Tried, and it doesn't seem to fix the issue.

I'm also adding some more info that is very unaccessible behind my desk:

For unrelated reasons I recently unplugged everything, physically unmounted and mounted back the video card and the CMOS battery, and reset the BIOS.

I don't think that had any effect.

But after reading the user's manual of the mobo, when I plugged all the peripherals back in, I plugged the jack of the audio not where it was (in the circle in the image above), but in the "OUT".

This seems to have fixed all the issues.

\o/
"rear" would be for surround sound?
Still counts as a cable issue

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Definitely. But at this point I don't care much. I've never been into sophisticated audio.
