Sorry for the misunderstanding, see pastbin link for the pulseaudio -vvvv output http://pastebin.com/cP3A1nLc Yes my chassis has a front audio panel (actually on the top) Basically I want the two output to work at the same time - it used to do so as I said in the past. i.e. My headset plugged onto my top/front audio panel and my speakers plugged onto the back panel on the black jack. I used to have it plugged onto the green but I changed to the black to see if it's changing or improving the situation. thank you On 31 March 2015 at 12:51, Raymond Yau <superquad.vortex2 at gmail.com> wrote: > > >> > >> > > >> > Thank you for your reply, > >> > > >> > Please see below the output of alsa-info.sh before and after the > headphone plugged in > >> > > >> > Before: > http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a316eebf7b150b5897838be37bce4e8c9d95eaae > >> > After: > http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=0f163003e9005972db5f97f21a45be67816e3801 > >> > > >> > I have 6 Jacks at the rear panel and two at the top (one output one > input) > >> > I am afraid I do not know how to switch channel mode to retask. > >> > > >> > Also, the computer is of a certain age, and the issue has started > several month ago but I never really looked into it, so I am not sure that > change in power management will be relevant has it seems quite recent. > > If you plugged the speaker into the black jack, > > Seem you are using stereo profile since surround dac still using channel=0 > > Auto mute was disabled when you select ac97 front audio panel > > Do you expect pulseaudio just mute the surround playback switch but keep > the surround playack volume remain unchanged when you select stereo profile > ? > > Node 0x11 [Audio Output] wcaps 0x41d: Stereo Amp-Out > Control: name="Surround Playback Volume", index=0, device=0 > ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=Out, idx=0, ofs=0 > Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x2a, nsteps=0x2a, stepsize=0x05, mute=0 > Amp-Out vals: [0x00 0x00] > Converter: stream=5, channel=0 > PCM: > rates [0x5e0]: 44100 48000 88200 96000 192000 > bits [0xe]: 16 20 24 > formats [0x1]: PCM > Power states: D0 D1 D2 D3 > Power: setting=D0, actual=D0 > > Node 0x18 [Audio Selector] wcaps 0x30050d: Stereo Amp-Out > Control: name="Surround Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 > ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=Out, idx=0, ofs=0 > Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x00, nsteps=0x00, stepsize=0x00, mute=1 > Amp-Out vals: [0x80 0x80] > Power states: D0 D1 D2 D3 > Power: setting=D0, actual=D0 > Connection: 1 > 0x11 > > control.36 { > iface CARD > name 'Line Out Front Jack' > value false > comment { > access read > type BOOLEAN > count 1 > } > } > control.37 { > iface CARD > name 'Line Out Surround Jack' > value true > comment { > access read > type BOOLEAN > count 1 > } > } > control.38 { > iface CARD > name 'Line Out CLFE Jack' > value false > comment { > access read > type BOOLEAN > count 1 > } > } > control.39 { > iface CARD > name 'Line Out Side Jack' > value false > comment { > access read > type BOOLEAN > count 1 > } > } > control.40 { > iface CARD > name 'Front Headphone Phantom Jack' > value true > comment { > access read > type BOOLEAN > count 1 > } > } > > Simple mixer control 'Surround',0 > Capabilities: pvolume pswitch > Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right > Limits: Playback 0 - 42 > Mono: > Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] [-63.00dB] [off] > Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [-63.00dB] [off] > > > As advices I changed the Bios setting from AC97 to HD Audio. > > Do your computer chassis have a hda front audio panel ? > > > Now upon start up or pulseaudio being restarted the headphones is muted, > but the surround channel isn't any more.
