Re: Bluetooth headphones: Is it possible for audio output to switch automatically on connection? [Solved]

Yeah, that is always my concern too. As for working / not working.. all I can say is that I have found pipewire to be in some ways better than pulse... and in some ways pulse is better. Flaky are both at times - at least on my machines, with pulse seeming to be less flaky for me (on mx21 !) However...

Re: Bluetooth headphones: Is it possible for audio output to switch automatically on connection? [Solved]

Now that is the strangest thing. I've changed nothing since I wrote yesterday, there have been no updates, and now it's working!! I'm a bit nervous about copying the file to /etc/pipewire/ or ~/.config/pipewire/ because if another, necessary, change was made to the file at /usr/share/pipewire it mig...

Re: Bluetooth headphones: Is it possible for audio output to switch automatically on connection? [Solved]

In my current setup, the automatic change to Bluetooth sound output doesn't work any more, it's back to having to do it manually from the Volume control icon in the system tray. One little thing though, and I'm not sure whether this is a relevant change or whether I didn't notice it last time. But t...

Re: Bluetooth headphones: Is it possible for audio output to switch automatically on connection? [Solved]

oh.. yup .. I have BOTH of those mods in my MX23 Most likely it was this one that did it: /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf , under content.exec: { path = "pactl" args = "load-module module-switch-on-connect" } And I have listed in my notes: "restart after changes&quo...

Re: Bluetooth headphones: Is it possible for audio output to switch automatically on connection? [Solved]

Nope. None of this worked. It took some effort to get the liquorix kernel onto my grub, too, as I use Grub Customizer to deal with the fact that I have 6 distros plus Windows on my hard drive. What I am asking for does work in MX-KDE, so I suspect it's a XFCE issue. MX Select Sound: Even with Blueto...

Re: Bluetooth headphones: Is it possible for audio output to switch automatically on connection? [Solved]

Here goes, though, as far as I can see, this is not a hardware problem as once I have changed the sound output manually, the headphones work perfectly: System: Kernel: 6.5.0-1mx-ahs-amd64 [6.5.3-1~mx23ahs] arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 12.2.0 parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.5.0-1mx-a...

Bluetooth headphones: Is it possible for audio output to switch automatically on connection? [Solved]

I got a pair of Bluetooth headphones for Christmas, and having sorted out a couple of teething problems, they are working perfectly. My question is, is there a setting in XFCE for the sound system to automatically switch to Bluetooth output? I always have to do it manually. It's only a little thing,...

Re: How do I run a system command at startup and shutdown? [Solved]

I revisited this, and found a neater solution. Added this line to /etc/fstab and removed the rc.local addition: #Entry for Router share : //192.168.1.254/usb1 /mnt/router cifs guest,vers=1.0,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noperm 0 0 I'll report back again if I have to tweak it a little.

Re: How do I run a system command at startup and shutdown? [Solved]

It's working perfectly now, I'm touching nothing!

I prefer /mnt because it's always connected when the computer is on.

I think that if I don't specify client or server in smb.conf it implies both, which is why it works.
