Hello everyone, I got a New sound card (Soundblaster g6) and use it under xubuntu 22.04
The problem is that the default settings of the card are not usable for my use case. For example, the capture device is always set to line-in (instead of external mic) whenever i boot or replug the device.
I changed the settings with alsamixer to my likings and stored the .state file in my ~/.config/ folder When i run restore after reboot all is good. Unfortunatley not for long as the cards keeps going back to its default settings once in a while (sometimes every minute)
I try to solve this with a bash script that restores every 60seconds.
My question is how do i make my stored .state file to the default the card resets to? So i dont have to restore every 60 seconds.
I wish it would work with pacucontrol, but it dies not give me the external mic Option for the inputs. Alsa does. See my parallel comment.
Have you checked the configuration tab on pavucontrol? You can usually change how the card is setup there.
