Any reason to set default sink to combined.monitor ?

some application explicitly looking for mic ?

Does the combined sink really work since the latency of those sinks are
quite different ?


Sink #0
Latency: 122184 usec, configured 200000 usec

Sink #1
Latency: 122243 usec, configured 200000 usec

Sink #2
Latency: 164535 usec, configured 200000 usec


https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47899

 how about combined sink with 8 channels since your analog and hdmi also
support 8 channels

The volume of combined sink seem different from slaves

Sink #0

Volume: 0: 100% 1: 100%
	        0: 0.00 dB 1: 0.00 dB
	        balance 0.00
	Base Volume: 100%
	             0.00 dB


Sink #1

	Volume: 0: 100% 1: 100%
	        0: 0.00 dB 1: 0.00 dB
	        balance 0.00
	Base Volume: 100%
	             0.00 dB


sink #2

	Volume: 0:  54% 1:  54%
	        0: -16.05 dB 1: -16.05 dB
	        balance 0.00
	Base Volume: 100%
	             0.00 dB

I have not tried, and there is no headphone connection called out anywhere

The front audio panel connector is nexto to  the CD connector and internal
SPDIF connector on ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe

The default front audio panel type in BIOS setup is AC97 instead of HDA
