Pro Audio Profile sporadically drops out requiring a swap profiles over and over to bring it back. Pro Audio profile also lacks means to switch between headphones/speakers & line/mic
I'm using an admittedly older Creative Soundblaster ZX, running KDE 23.04 upgraded from 22.10
The pro audio profile frees me from a lot of limitations, but I also experience several issues with it.
I am frequently forced to swap the profiles repeatedly to get the pro audio profile to work again, all the other profiles will behave fine. Sometimes I give up and reboot, it happens at in-opportune moments like during or just before a zoom meeting at work or during game play, or just coming back from sleep. I've tried my best to identify a trigger but i've yet to come up with anything.
The other issue is i'm required to fall back to alsamixer to swap the line-in/mic behavior and select between headphones and speakers. The other profiles have addition menu's that let you control this behavior. This is clunky It would be nice if it just split the headphones and speakers up.
