This askubuntu answer showed me pacmd list-sinks. Analogously, you could use an easier command: pacmd list-cards |grep -E 'index:|name:|output:'

Note that there could be more than one active sound profile - and you can omit the second grep to also see the "dead" indices. | |

Thanks for the answer. Pulse Audio can be installed with one of apt-get install pulseaudio-utils, brew install pulseaudio, brew install pulumi or nix-env -iA nixpkgs.pulseaudio among others. I tried to extend your command for listing the output profiles as follows: pacmd list |grep -E 'Default |module\(s\)|sink\(s\)|source\(s\)|client\(s\)|card\(s\)|sink input|index:|output:' | grep -B2 'output:' - that way, you will easily see the index of each profile and to what it belongs.

@Cadoiz pacmd was (at 2018) the name of Pulse Audio deamon. I have not checked recently if the deamon name has been changed. Search about Pulse Audio.
