how to sperate headphones from laptop speakers as two seperate enteties

so since I digged pretty hard to find what is a ucm profile and how to seperate headphones from speakers in pipewire and alsa so yeah heres a guide first of all these are my sources:

you need a custom ucm profile use this command since its helpful lspci -nn -vvv


<span style="color:#323232;">SUBSYSTEM!="sound", GOTO="pipewire_end"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ACTION!="change", GOTO="pipewire_end"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">KERNEL!="card*", GOTO="pipewire_end"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">ATTRS{subsystem_vendor}=="0x103c", ATTRS{subsystem_device}=="0x8742", ENV{ACP_PROFILE_SET}="custom.conf"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">LABEL="pipewire_end"
</span>

and than create a file in /usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer/profile-sets/custom.conf and yeah I guess

www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/…/Profiles/

and this especially

github.com/…/linux-guide-split-audio-ports

and yes that was my custom.conf and yes just reboot now and you are set btw no need to touch hdajackretask and that idor 0,2 and 0,0 I just switched profile to proaudio and than ran pactl list sinks short and took the ids from there I am basically following the guides and mimicking /usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer/profile-sets/default.conf to be completely honest yes thats all

-=-=-=-==-==–==

very fast update you actually have to enable indep_hp in hdajackretask btw fun fact you can apply now and test after killing wireplumber so don’t forget to do that don’t reboot over and over again (I am talking to myself here mostly also enable indep_hd using alsamixer after you do so in hdajackretask) and yes thats all peace
