“Pactl load-module” outputs “you have to specify a module name and arguments.”
I duck go’d that command and it seems like it’s for pulseaudio. The latest mint release uses pipewire for the audio server. Is the command different for that?
As I said in earlier comment, please run
"pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect"
exactly. Note thatPactl
andpactl
are different commands and the former is invalid.As the name suggests,
pactl
is a command for PulseAudio. PipeWire supports application written for PulseAudio, includingpactl
. Try"man pipewire-pulse"
to get further info.That seems to have worked. Tbf, your original comment displayed as “pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect” Which indicates 2 seperate commands.
