Past time for bed, but before I do, an update:
Problem is that output device got switched from pin jack to HDMI port. I don't know what did it, or what controls which port(s) get any sound output. I can plug in a second display, with internal speakers, via HDMI, and sounds all work as expected. I don't want two displays, and I don't want to switch displays. I want the sound going to the pin jack. But how? What/where controls this?
We will think on it while you are sleeping. I know pulse defines sources and sinks for sound routing (marked in memory as "sources and sinks" is an old aerodynamic analogy for describing airflow patterns...) I don't know how pipewire does it -- this is all what the new driver apps do for the kids windows setup for headset, speaker, built-in speaker output selection. Not clear if a pre-pipewire/pre-pulse mixer can do that. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
