I'd like to have my system automatically output to all available sound devices (preferably using a sink in Pulseaudio Volume Control). This was possible when using Pulseaudio alone.
Is it possible with Pipewire? If yes, how would you achieve this?
Is it possible to set this up to be available automatically?
I finally found the answer after reporting a bug and getting a response to my question. The solution is so amazingly simple:
Run:
pactl load-module module-combine-sink
And you get the same functionality with PipeWire.
If I'm understanding these instructions correctly, you can make this permanent by copying /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf to ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf and adding:
context.exec = [
{ path = "pactl" args = "load-module module-combine-sink" }
]
Then saving the file. Alternatively, you can add the first command to your startup applications.
