Listen to Line In While Using Microphone

[short talon]

I've already figured out the pw-loopback sorta works, to an extent. However, it only works if I go into the sound menu and select Line In from my input devices. If I select Rear Microphone, it will play my mic instead.

Q: Is there a way to use line in such that it does not interfere with my mic input but also allows me to listen to the audio coming through it?

Take a look at qpwgraph, it's a patchbay for pipewire allowing you to connect devices to programs and such. perhaps it has what you need.
