A pulse audio configuration for the Zoom L-12 (L12) Mixer to enable input/output separation on Linux.
Use at own risk
Tested on Manjaro KDE
- Copy the .config folder to your home directory or more specifically the
default.pa-file to~/.config/pulse/default.pa - Enable Class Compliant Mode (Switch on back of the L-12)
- Set Sample Rate to 48kHz (Switch on back of the L-12)
- Set Mode to Audio Interface
- Restart L-12
- Restart Pulseaudio:
systemctl restart --user pulseaudio
The default.pa is a copy from /etc/pulse/default.pa that has been modified to use the L12.
The base file will be ignored if pulse finds that a configuration in the home directory ~/.config/pulse/default.pa is present.
- The device will be in the settings even if it's not connected
- I first hoped to be able to make it only apply when the device is connected but couldn't quite get it to work as desired. So I just decided to let it be as it was good enough for my desktop setup
- As the Config is statically loaded it can be that it breaks especially after standby or when replugged.
- Typically restarting pulseaudio is enough to make it work again
If someone knows/finds a better way to solve this, I'd be very happy to see a PR. :)
I tried ALSA at first but couldn't get it working. But an ALSA-based solution would also be appreciated.
