The issue with soldering I was trying to convey is that it isn’t an ideal process to make connections “in the field”, aka in a tight corner or behind a cabinet. A proper connection is solid, but it’s not feasible to make a proper connection if you’re upside down under a cabinet or standing at the top of a ladder.
So building new home. Its a small aframe up on the side of a mtn. Don’t need anything fancy like multi zone. Only need on/off with dimming. Buying switches for the main lights and am thinking its one of the following two....
In my extensive experience, use Zooz zen series for the bulk of your switches. Buy inovelli for special switches such as by your front door or anywhere you might want the use of the LED indicator strip and scenes.
Majority of other smart switches will give you issues with dimming flicker. Trust me, I’ve bought thousands of dollars of smart switches. Zooz and Inovelli are great choices.
Thanks. That helped a lot. It gave me a good basis for some further googling.
It ended up that the Internal Clock of the hardware interface was deselected in alsamixer. Enabling it fixed the no audio issue.
For the channel remapping I tried a bunch of different config files until finally one actually managed to not be ignored. It's absurd how many separate configuration files and sound settings menus exist for linux audio and there's no guarantee the one your editing is even being used. An absolute mess IMO and it's no wonder people shy away from linux for desktop purposes.
Funny enough, despite getting the channel remapping to work, it's completely ignored unless you put pulseaudio -k into your user profile. And even now, because the remapped output device doesn't show up on boot, it has to be manually set to the default output every login.
At least I have the right channels mapped though.
I love linux but god damn is it a hot mess for the simple stuff.
