Simplify way to choose device channels when using AutoConnect
Finding the correct device took me a couple of tries, since the listed alias, was not hinting the actual product name of the audio device. Here the device is named Analog Stereo 1/2:playback_FR
, while it is called alsa_output.usb-Native_Instruments_Komplete_Audio_6_76C51E0D-00.analog-stereo-out-ab
when using pw-link
or qpwgraph
.
{ ["object.path"] = alsa:pcm:1:hw:1,0,0:playback:playback_1,
["port.physical"] = true,
["object.serial"] = 2364,
["port.name"] = playback_FR,
["object.id"] = 77,
["port.terminal"] = true,
["port.direction"] = in,
["format.dsp"] = 32 bit float mono audio,
["port.id"] = 1,
["port.alias"] = Analog Stereo 1/2:playback_FR,
["audio.channel"] = FR,
["node.id"] = 32,
}
Also extracting the correct name and channel ID is not too intuitive. This is what actually worked:
# Audio Device Settings
AURA_ENGINE_OUTPUT_DEVICE=Analog Stereo 1/2:playback
AURA_ENGINE_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_LEFT=FL
AURA_ENGINE_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_RIGHT=FR
