Guide: Notion AI Meeting Notes Audio Patcher

[xadcv]

I have Notion mapped to a webapp shortcut but have found it frustrating not to be able to use AI Meeting Notes, which is a really useful feature.

The below guide duct-taped together PipeWire routing into a new device that receives system audio and microphone audio at the same time as a new recording device, making it possible for webapps to read both system and microphone audio for the purpose of meeting notes recording.

Duct taped together the best I could through Google searching and GPT, would look forward for thoughts and possible ideas for bundling this as a default input device that could launch as stock.

Identify your input/output devices

$ wpctl status

This will help you identify your default system sink and source devices for use later on.

Create virtual sink and loop-back system output

$ pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=[NAME] sink_properties=device.description="[READABLE NAME]"
$ pactl load-module module-loopback source=[MICROPHONE DEVICE NAME] sink=[NAME] latency_msec=20
$ pactl load-module module-loopback source=[DEFAULT OUTPUT NAME] sink=[NAME] latency_msec=20

Make the new device the default input device on notion.so

In Chrome site settings, allow microphone use and select the new device as the default

Unloading

To unload the device and prevent duplicates

$ pactl unload-module module-loopback
$ pactl unload-module module-null-sink

---

Hope this is useful to some people.

Improvements:

• Bootup script for ensuring persistence on reboot
• Make the load and unload robust to other pactl configurations that the user might have to avoid deleting them if the module needs to be reloaded
