[Solved][Pulse] Switch audio output by script

[Yellow Pasque]

Hmm. Maybe there's something at the driver level controlling that. Can you give alsainfo? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo

Does this command turn off the Digital Output?

amixer set 'IEC958 Output',0 'Playback' 'off'

If so, you could incorporate it into the script

#!/bin/sh

analog="`pactl list cards | grep attivo | grep analog`"
if [ "$analog" ]
then
 pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0 output:iec958-stereo
 amixer set 'IEC958 Output',0 'Playback' 'on'
else
 pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0 output:analog-stereo
 amixer set 'IEC958 Output',0 'Playback' 'off'
fi

Many thanks.
For the whole month of August I'll be outdoors so I'm going to check on September.
Good holidays

It worked like a charm. Thanks for everything. I felt one more time Ubuntu community is still the best!
