Hi,

I initially opened a bug in the GNOME bugzilla, but then I've been told to
reopen it here.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770909

Original report:


Hi,

In gnome-control-center, I see my Logitech G930 wireless headset twice, once
with the name "Digital output (S/PDIF) G930" and once with "Analogic output
G930"

I guess that should only be one entry?

Hadess later replied:


It's not a bug, the card has 2 ports, and we unroll the cards and ports in this
list, to avoid having 2 drop-downs per hardware, and make it easier to switch
between, for example, an internal speaker and the jack.

You could argue that switching between the analogue and digital outputs should
be automatic, and I would certainly agree that this would clean up our
interface, but that's a problem that can only be solved in PulseAudio and
layers underneath it.

Please file a bug against PulseAudio mentioning the above, that's the best way
to drain that swamp.

There is the same problem for my internal sound card
