I don't know if you're trying to use the headphone or the line out port, but if you can disable jack detection for both: In /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output- headphones.conf, change these lines: [Jack Front Headphone] required-any = any to [Jack Front Headphone] required-any = any state.plugged = unknown state.unplugged = unknown and similarly in /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output- lineout.conf change these lines: [Jack Line Out Front] required-any = any to [Jack Line Out Front] required-any = any state.plugged = unknown state.unplugged = unknown These changes will be overwritten whenever your distribution updates pulseaudio (yes, this sucks, hopefully this will be improved some day; I think George Chini already has something prepared related to disabling jack detection). -- Tanu https://www.patreon.com/tanuk https://liberapay.com/tanuk _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
