Missing sound profiles in KDE audio settings

[Kobrakai]

For some reason I’m not seeing analog stereo duplex or analog stereo output in the list of sound profiles:

I can set it with pacmd set-card-profile which gives me sound but they still don’t appear in the audio settings and the profile field is blank. I also had to change the output device to headphones in AlsaMixer but that might be an unrelated problem. Is there some way I can fix this?

The profiles show up in PulseAudio volume control but it shows (unavailable) after the name. If I select analog stereo duplex the sound works but as soon as I reboot my PC it resets again. How can I get it to remember the profile after a reboot?

You need hdajackretask which is in the alsa-tools package, so:

pamac install alsa-tools
hdajackretask

In that screen you need to:

• Select the correct codec
• Click Show unconnected pins

and then it becomes fuzzy as I have no system information on your hardware but basically you need to override one or more of the unconnected pins to the features you want.

• Once you’ve done all of the needed overrides, you need to click Apply now and test.
• If that would give you an error message, you need to:
  • Click Boot override
  • Reboot
  • Test

Repeat until you get what you want.

You should really thank @nikgnomic who taught me this trick and who’s a genius when it comes to audio…
