It appears that FOR NOW the issue has been resolved by itself, let’s see if it will remain this way.
Meanwhile, I am now contemplating whether it’s possible to have multiple profiles active for the same device, allowing for switching between my headset and soundbar. I am also curious about the number of profiles and whether there is a way to minimize them.
I attempted to search the forum without success. I currently have a soundbar connected to the optical output and a headset plugged into the motherboard’s back panel, but neither of them is producing any sound.
Yesterday I managed to get the headset working somehow, though the soundbar still wouldn’t function. However, today neither of them are working at all.
Right now my kernel version is 6.4.11 Zen with the KDE Desktop environment.
My hardware is:
3600x
b550 aorus master
nvidia 3070ti
