auto connect mixer to bluetooth device


I installed spiral linux (XFCE) and one of the amazing features was that when I connected my bluetooth headset it would automatically connect my mixer to it.

When I switched to the debian testing repos though, this feature disappeared.

Any ideas on how to get this back?

That will be controlled by the settings in your desktop. On KDE you should look at System Settings -> Hardware -> Audio. Look through your desktop's (XFCE) configuration settings.

Thanks for the tip @jailbait, but I can't find that setting in the XFCE settings.

My googling did find a solution for Fedora, which I run on my laptop. It runs PipeWire, where Debian runs PulseAudio.

sudo sed -i -e '/module-switch-on-connect/s/#//' /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf

I found the answer and it was very simple...

add the line

load-module module-switch-on-connect

to

/etc/pulse/default.pa

Hi there, SpiralLinux creator here. This is the correct solution. To avoid having to do so it would be best to choose the option to keep the previous config file during the upgrade process when it prompts you about what to do with the new version.
