Hello everyone, I got a New sound card (Soundblaster g6) and use it under xubuntu 22.04

The problem is that the default settings of the card are not usable for my use case. For example, the capture device is always set to line-in (instead of external mic) whenever i boot or replug the device.

I changed the settings with alsamixer to my likings and stored the .state file in my ~/.config/ folder When i run restore after reboot all is good. Unfortunatley not for long as the cards keeps going back to its default settings once in a while (sometimes every minute)

I try to solve this with a bash script that restores every 60seconds.

My question is how do i make my stored .state file to the default the card resets to? So i dont have to restore every 60 seconds.

    After some more testing, I think this is indeed the case. The problem is that the device has two input channels (“line-in”, " external mic"). In alsamixer i can select both as “PCM capture source” (from here) However, the input tab of pavucontrol, i can only select “line in”. I switched through all available profiles for the card. But the dropdown only always show “line-in”

    Any ideas?
