So as in the title. While headphones are plugged in I can't hear anything from line out, but in the pavucontrol I see that there is sound.

Before the changes I could choose in pavucontrol between line out and headphones without a problem but i couldn't hear audio simultaneously on those outputs.

Please help.

[luisbocanegra]

Did you get noise sound from speaker-test in https://github.com/luisbocanegra/linux-guide-split-audio-ports?tab=readme-ov-file#331-identify-what-output-each-device-corresponds-to?

Can you share all the modifications you made and the files for the firmware patch please.

[Tyranpl]

Yes, but same as in the title. I got noise from line out only when headphones were disconnected.
I did everything as in the tutorial (or at least that's what I think).

; Common part of all paths

; So here's generally how mixer paths are used by PA: PA goes through
; a mixer path file from top to bottom and checks if a mixer element
; described therein exists. If so it is added to the list of mixer
; elements PA will control, keeping the order it read them in. If a
; mixer element described here has set the required= or
; required-absent= directives a path might not be accepted as valid
; and is ignored in its entirety (see below). However usually if a
; element listed here is missing this one element is ignored but not
; the entire path.
;
; When a device shall be muted/unmuted *all* elements listed in a path
; file with "switch = mute" will be toggled.
;
; When a device shall change its volume, PA will got through the list
; of all elements with "volume = merge" and set the volume on the
; first element. If that element does not support dB volumes, this is
; where the story ends. If it does support dB volumes, PA divides the
; requested volume by the volume that was set on this element, and
; then go on to the next element with "volume = merge" and then set
; that there, and so on.  That way the first volume element in the
; path will be the one that does the 'biggest' part of the overall
; volume adjustment, with the remaining elements usually being set to
; some value next to 0dB. This logic makes sure we get the full range
; over all volume sliders and a very high granularity of volumes
; already in hardware.
;
; All switches and enumerations set to "select" are exposed via the
; "port" functionality of sinks/sources. Basically every possible
; switch setting and every possible enumeration setting will be
; combined and made into a "port". So make sure you don't list too
; many switches/enums for exposing, because the number of ports might
; rise exponentially.
;
; Only one path can be selected at a time. All paths that are valid
; for an audio device will be exposed as "port" for the sink/source.

But in this file i didn't have [Jack Headphone] so i added it. I tried with and without it and results were same.

Can you send a screenshot of alsamixer -c0 I think you may have to change 0 to 1 if it doesn't show Realtek ALC887-VD chip, also does anything happen if you try to mute/un-mute/raise volume of the outputs there?

[luisbocanegra]

Could you also share the full output of pactl list cards?

[Tyranpl]

alsamixer -c1

Okay, when I play music and raise volume on headphones it's working. But, when I do the same with line out, nothing is changing. NVM. It is working but when I change volume on "Front", not on "Line".

EDIT: I realized that now "line out" mutes automatically, when I plug out headphones.

[luisbocanegra]

This is extremely similar to #20 maybe is the same problem under the hood.

I found this [Solved] PulseAudio does not use hardware volume control, it seems you need to tell to pipewire which control to use https://docs.pipewire.org/page_man_pipewire-pulse-modules_7.html please try that it seems that the way to configure that now is through wireplumber https://pipewire.pages.freedesktop.org/wireplumber/daemon/configuration/alsa.html.

EDIT: I realized that now "line out" mutes automatically, when I plug out headphones.

May be related to #13 but I suggest ignoring that for now

[Tyranpl]

Okay, so I did something opposite. It's problem with mute I think. I configured my waybar today and saw that it says "mute" after I connected headphones. I just unmutted it with my keyboard and it started magically working🤦‍♂️.
Now I need to somehow disable this automute. On pavuvontrol it's not muted, in alsamixer too. Only wpctl unmutes. Maybe it's something with wpctl, idk.

[luisbocanegra]

Maybe adding auto_mute=no to the firmware patch under [hints]? Though not sure if this will help at all since alsamixer says it is already disabled.

[hints]
indep_hp=yes
vmaster=no
auto_mute=no

source: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.7/sound/hd-audio/notes.html

In my case it was common for one of my outputs to be muted and #13 seemed to help maybe you need something like that too.

[luisbocanegra]

Also in my case when is muted like this it does unmute from KDE's audio widget, that may indicate a different issue in your case.

[Tyranpl]

For now, it's not working, nor #13, nor adding auto_mute=no to firmware patch. I'm too tired to do this today, but maybe some script that execute wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ toggle every time I connect or disconnect headphones will do.

[luisbocanegra]

Yeah that could work too. Maybe is something with the drivers and no way around that, but if you want, give https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues/1297 a shot another day.

[sflavelle]

If it helps, I found that on my ALC897 chipset, I had to add another option to the modprobe snd-hda-intel file before I could get speaker audio to play while headphones were connected:
options snd-hda-intel model=dual-codecs

The exact "model" might differ for you, dual-codecs was just the one that worked for me. There's a list here that I used: https://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v6.7/Documentation/sound/hd-audio/models.rst

Interesting, did you get both sinks to play separate audio streams at the same time too?

[sflavelle]

I did admittedly write the comment while in the middle of following this guide, but I can since confirm that I can play different audio streams through the now-separate outputs.
