I'm using Pulseaudio. The image is of the Output Devices tab and shows the Port set to Analog Output. This is fine and works great. There's another option called Headphones but if you try and set the Port to Headphones it automatically switches back to Analog Output.
When I plug headphones into my desktop computer, they are not automatically selected for output, instead all sound still goes through my S/PDIF output to the stereo.
The headphones alternative is added in the sound settings, and I have to manually select it as output device.
$ cat /proc/asound/pcm
00-00: ALC898 Analog : ALC898 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1
00-01: ALC898 Digital : ALC898 Digita
Hi, I have a problem with my sound output connector.
Whenever I log in, the default sound output connector is "HDMI" (when I look in the Sound Settings under Output) and my computer's HDMI port is not connected to anything. When I try to play any sounds the speakers on my laptop emit no sound.
Hi, I recently installed PulseAudio to solve a problem with sound over HDMI and it served well for that purpose. I like PullseAudio and KDE works seamlessly with it. There is only one thing that bothers me: adjusting headphones volume. There's no such control in kmix, only volume for analog output and for HDMI.
Ok, I installed pavucontrol, and switched my output to speakers. It would seem that when it is set to headphones (auto-volume switching), it is attempting to send audio to a non-existent channel on the sound card. I believe the switching of audio is all done through the card, which is why it breaks when it is done through software (it works through headphones when speakers are set as o
This is a rather annoying problem.
For some reason, when I plug my headphones into the jack on my laptop, the audio STILL comes out of my main speakers as well as the headphones. I tried out another pair of headphones just to make sure it wasn't them that was the problem, but the problem still persisted. I just want to listen to music through my headphones...:|
I have already installed GNOME ALSA MIXER on Ubuntu. I did set the all the parameters correctly. In Hardware settings, in the "choose a device to configure" section, it appeared as "Built in Audio - 1 Output / 1 input - Analog surround 5.1 output + analog stereo input" because I've selected that "Analog surround 5.1 output + analog stereo input" as the profile.
I am using Xubuntu 12.10 fully updated on an HP 200-5220a. I have a Hi-Fi system plugged into the headphones output. This has worked without any problems for nearly two years until the last 2 or 3 days. Then the sound output stopped. I think I may have reset something somewhere!
I can correct the problem by going into the Menu > Multimedia > PulseAudio Volume Control.
Hello!
I have two audio sets connected permanently to my computer: Stereo speakers in the normal (light green) output jack and my headphones in the front jack.
Problem is: My front jack is dying from having survived too many incidents, most of which implied unintentionally pulling the headphones wire while it's still connected.
I would like to plug the headphones on any of the 5 plugs ha
