<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I want to play sound on all output ports of sound card,
includes headphone, speaker and line out. I found that I
should define new profile for the sound card that includes all
required output ports.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I changed
`/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/default.conf`
file and uncommented last lines and changed the `auto-profile
= no`, but unfortunately it doesn't work.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Would you please help me to define a custom profile to play
sound on all output ports?<br>
</div>

<p>This may be a limitation of the sound card you are using. It may
not be able to output to all three ports at once. It might be
helpful to see the output of the Audio device line(S) from the
command run as the normal logged in user:</p>
<p>lspci <br>
</p>
<p>I use pulse audio and I regularly switch between audio output
devices using the convenient pavucontrol app for pulse audio. I
just tested module-loopback and module-combine-sink and was able
to play a chrome Netflix tab on my bluetooth connected headphones
and a USB connected audio device connected to another set of
headphones. The module-combine-sink seems to be the way to go if
you want more than 2 output devices. The process is to load the
module-combine-sink with pactl ... "pactl load-module
module-combine-sink" ... then use pavucontrol to connect the
input (sink) of module-combine-sink and its output to devices on
your system. No messing with rc files.</p>
<p>Depending on your needs you may need a USB audio device. I use
the BEHRINGER XENYX 302USB ($50 on Amazon). It provides 2 inputs
(mic and line) that can be mixed and brought back to the computer
and also a USB audio out that can be sent to line out and a
headphone jack simultaneously. So that gets you 2 outputs. The
third could be sent to the computer's audio device output all done
with module-combine-sink and pavucontrol. The BEHRINGER XENYX
302USB also gets you bass, treble and pan controls. Plus you
would have the ability to send 2 different sound sources to the
internal audio card and the USB BEHRINGER XENYX 302USB ... so
music in another room (wired) and watch a movie on the computer.
Add a bluetooth gateway connected to a HiFi in another room (about
30 feet range) and you have a third output to send another source
to with a few settings in pavucontrol and the appropriate modules
loaded if necessary. <br>
</p>
<p>Note: I use bluetooth a lot and have been through many problems
with getting KDE plasma to connect (all fixed now) and dropouts
from the wireless router using the lower band that directly
conflicts with the bluetooth band of frequencies. So the fix was
using the 5GHz band wifi.<br>
