PulseAudio has the ability to switch the default output on certain conditions:

  • module-switch-on-port-available
  • module-switch-on-connect

this is neat, but - some of these events may be false alarms. Specifically, I have a monitor connected via HDMI, and it doesn't actually support audio. Or maybe it does, but I never want to use its audio capability.

How can I create exceptions for these modules to ignore, so that the default output is never switched to some specific device?

Note: I'm using Devuan GNU/Linux 3 (Beowulf), but that shouldn't really matter.

    Is there a profile for the monitor listed. pavucontrol lists the profiles in the configuration section if it does you can set the profile to off and it won't be used.

  • @JasonCroyle: Nope, no profile for it.

    What Jason Croyle suggested worked for me. Just for anyone else reading.

  • @JasonCroyle you should make your response an answer. It may not get a check mark but I'd upvote it. It was exactly what I needed.
