From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It says "no valid command specified"
Did you enter the command line (especially
load-module) correctly?"Pactl load-module" outputs "you have to specify a module name and arguments."
I duck go'd that command and it seems like it's for pulseaudio. The latest mint release uses pipewire for the audio server. Is the command different for that?
As I said in earlier comment, please run
"pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect"exactly. Note thatPactlandpactlare different commands and the former is invalid.As the name suggests,
pactlis a command for PulseAudio. PipeWire supports application written for PulseAudio, includingpactl. Try"man pipewire-pulse"to get further info.That seems to have worked. Tbf, your original comment displayed as "pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect" Which indicates 2 seperate commands.
