hardware.framework.laptop13.audioEnhancement.enable causes audio profile to be used for headphones as well

[neutralinsomniac]

The pipewire/wireplumber config that gets applied to the speakers sounds great, but the profile also seems to affect the headphone jack, which sounds really bad. I'm not sure if there's a way to prevent the profile from being applied to the headphone jack too, but that's probably what we want here.

just wanted to report this as well.
also, it hides the headphone/speaker port selection, but that's prob not possible to fix.

Unfortunately, this is a known issue; PipeWire/WirePlumber does not have a way to apply a sound profile to only the speaker, since it's the same device as the headphones from its perspective. The workaround is to set framework.laptop13.audioEnhancement.hideRawDevice = false;. This also solves the headphone/speaker port selection not being visible (they are only visible under the normally hidden "raw" device).

There's a more complicated fix outlined in the original PR: #1253 (comment)

Feel free to highlight these caveats in the option's description (or I can submit a PR for that too in the coming days). Unfortunately these two issues are known, but I don't use the headphone jack, so I don't plan on fixing them. If you find a way that does not cause these issues, feel free to submit a PR or point me in a direction that I can submit one (without the complicated alsa tinkering).
