how to sperate headphones from laptop speakers as two seperate enteties

might be helpful to someone so here we are cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/9547307

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:

github.com/…/linux-guide-split-audio-portswww.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.htmlgitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/…/3556gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/…/3552

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 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
