HDMI auto audio switch for XFCE on Endevour OS using Udev rule
Because when you connect HDMI cable you want to be able to use HDMI speakers.
When you disconnect HDMI you want to go back to laptop speakers.
But sometimes it is broken.
This is why udev rule and sh script. Make sure to update your username and paths in sh script and udev rule
Requierements:
paru -S at
systemctl enable atd.service --now
because when udev rule is running, it will not update pactl info, so we need to schedule delayed task in background.
Stuff:
