Split jack(headphones)/speakers outputs into individual sinks on Linux to allow simultaneous playback (listen to different audio streams on each port)

Port muted on boot/resume from suspend #13

Currently, it is necessary to unmute the internal speakers or jack output every reboot or after suspending. For me this happened only sometimes but now it happens every time.

Looks like disabling Speaker detection for Headphones fixes this (same process as 2 Disable Headphone jack detection for speakers but for wired output)

To quickly test this edit /usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer/paths/analog-output-headphones.conf

Below

[General]
priority = 99
description-key = analog-output-headphones

[Properties]
device.icon_name = audio-headphones

Add this

[Jack Speaker]
state.plugged = unknown
state.unplugged = unknown

And comment this

;[Element Speaker]
;switch = off
;volume = off

Restart pipewire systemctl restart --user pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire.socket wireplumber

After doing that the availability of both ports should be unknown e.g:

$ pactl list sinks | grep -E 'Name|Desc|State|Port|device.profile-set|availability'
        State: RUNNING
        Name: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo-headphones.3
        Description: Built-in Audio Headphones
                device.profile-set = "/etc/alsa-card-profile/mixer/profile-sets/split-ports-profile.conf"
        Ports:
                analog-output-headphones: Headphones (type: Headphones, priority: 9900, availability group: Legacy 3, availability unknown)
        Active Port: analog-output-headphones
        State: SUSPENDED
        Name: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo-speaker
        Description: Built-in Audio Speakers
                device.profile-set = "/etc/alsa-card-profile/mixer/profile-sets/split-ports-profile.conf"
        Ports:
                analog-output-speaker-split: Speakers (type: Speaker, priority: 10000, availability group: Legacy 3, availability unknown)
        Active Port: analog-output-speaker-split

I had the same issue with an Ubuntu 23.10 installation, in my case upgrading to 24.04 LTS fixed the muting issue.
