so I want to create two scripts

  • first one that basically runs “systemctl suspend” when the lid is closed basically the default behavior doesn’t work for some reason and running systemctl suspend always works so yeah you get the idea

  • since I have made the headsets aka the jack output and the default speakers each their respective sink (that’s what I actually want (to have the power to put whatever I want in each sink using qpwgraph ) ) but that power comes at the cost of not switching between those respective two sinks so I just want to change I guess either the wireplumber config file or create a systemd service that runs when the jack port is plugged or unplugged

but I am lost in both questions to be honest and wireplumber is a mystery lol - sorry for being a noob if that matters

    • For your first point you’d probably want to investigate why your system doesn’t suspend or what exactly is going on. You could check logind.conf, specifically the HandleLidSwitch* keys. Otherwise, your lid switch should have a corresponding /dev/input/ event that you could maybe listen to or something.

    • I can’t offer much input on your second point. I think unplugging the audio jack should probably trigger a udev event that you could write a rule for. No idea about wireplumber though.

    I hope you find what you’re looking for, and maybe on the way some punctuation as well :’)

    “systemctl suspend” when the lid is closed basically the default behavior doesn’t work for some reason

    I’d go and figure out why that is instead. Check the journal; I’d journalctl -f before closing the lid and see what happens.

    The action of the lid is controlled by logind. Check its config.

    If logind can’t detect the lid switch, that likely means there’s some deeper cause that would affect doing the same manually aswell.
    Is your laptop docked (or does Linux think it is)?

    but that power comes at the cost of not switching between those respective two sinks

    Why? How did you set this up?

    How are the device(s?) configured?
    You might need “Pro” mode to expose separate outputs as such.
