PA log without mic connected at boot
Can you attach the output of "pactl list cards" after boot when the routing is wrong? I suspect that the headphones and the speakers are both marked as available, and the speaker priority is higher. Do you hear audio from the speakers when this happens? Created attachment 135253 [details] pactl-list-cards > Can you attach the output of "pactl list cards" after boot when the routing > is wrong?

I just checked this better: when I boot with the jack inserted the audio is routed through both: speakers and headphones. The input is set on the main microphone. Ok, both output ports have the same priority. The UCM configuration could provide the priority, but your UCM configuration doesn't do that. I don't think it's a good idea to use UCM as the priority authority anyway, because if the system has both UCM and non-UCM cards, the priorities between the cards wouldn't be comparable (and I doubt that the priorities between two different UCM cards would be comparable either). Instead, PulseAudio should determine the priority based on the device types. AFAIK, UCM doesn't currently provide device type information, so that's something to fix in UCM. As a workaround, PulseAudio could guess the device type from the device name. I don't know why the Handset Microphone port has higher priority than the default 100. Does your UCM config have any differences to what's currently in alsa-lib master branch? Regarding the simultaneous output to both speakers and headphones: I suppose this happens only after boot? The UCM config looks like it has appropriate mute commands in the DisableSequence sections for both devices. I believe the disable sequences aren't executed during boot, however, so the default mixer configuration in bytcr-rt5651.conf should be changed to mute all outputs.

Given how many UCM cards are around I wonder why this is not something already fixed / known. > I don't know why the Handset Microphone port has higher priority than the > default 100.

Fixed that at least :) (In reply to Carlo Caione from comment #6) > Given how many UCM cards are around I wonder why this is not something > already fixed / known. UCM cards have started to appear on desktop/laptop type machines only quite recently. Created attachment 135520 [details]
pactl.list.cards with increased priorities
Even changing priorities something is still wrong. In attachment the output of `pactl list cards` showing the increased priority for the headset. Even with the increased priorities when booting with the jack connected the audio output is thought `Speaker` (ok) but input is still set to `Mainmic`.
Have you perhaps selected Mainmic manually at some point, making that choice to be restored at boot? Does removing ~/.config/pulse/*device-volumes* help? -- GitLab Migration Automatic Message -- This bug has been migrated to freedesktop.org's GitLab instance and has been closed from further activity.
