I've talked with tanuk on IRC: [13:06] <tanuk> AnAkkk: My guess is that when starting PA with headphones plugged in, the port is "analog-output", when unplugging headphones, the port stays at "analog-output", when plugging headphones, it changes to "analog-output-headphones", and when unplugging again, it changes to "analog-output-speakers". [13:07] <tanuk> AnAkkk: If that's a correct guess, then I can reproduce the bug on my machine, and might be motivated enough to fix it some time soon. That's indeed what happens. D: [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Found 7 jacks. I: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Successfully attached to mixer 'hw:0' D: [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Jack 'Headphone Jack' is now plugged in D: [pulseaudio] device-port.c: Setting port analog-output-speaker to status no D: [pulseaudio] core-subscribe.c: Dropped redundant event due to change event. D: [pulseaudio] module-switch-on-port-available.c: finding port analog-output-speaker D: [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Jack 'Speaker Phantom Jack' is now plugged in D: [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Jack 'Headphone Jack' is now plugged in D: [pulseaudio] device-port.c: Setting port analog-output-headphones to status yes D: [pulseaudio] core-subscribe.c: Dropped redundant event due to change event. D: [pulseaudio] module-switch-on-port-available.c: finding port analog-output-headphones D: [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Jack 'HDMI/DP,pcm=3 Jack' is now unplugged I want this fixed in 6.0, so I made this now a release blocker bug. D: [pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Probe of element 'Headphone' succeeded (volume=2, switch=2, enumeration=0). post output of alsa-info.sh if the laptop has two headphone jacks, do pulseaudio use the states of both jack to determine whether the speaker shdould be mute or not ? *** Bug 77390 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I've been bitten by this bug and found a workaround. Putting
load-module module-switch-on-port-available
as the last line in default.pa, not "after module-*-restore, but before module-*-detect" as the comment claims.
(This is on archlinux, with pulse 5.0)
I sent a couple of patches to the mailing list that should fix this: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.pulseaudio.general/20915 Tanu, does the first patch in your set fix this? If yes, we should go ahead and close this. Else, would be good to know what's left (second patch in the series?). The first patch isn't sufficient. What's left: change the second patch so that it doesn't remove "Element Master Mono", and I also promised to write a test that verifies that the analog-output path is indeed a subset of all mixer paths that should kill it. I submitted an updated patch to the list: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.pulseaudio.general/21800 I still haven't written the test. I merged the patch, so this bug should now be fixed. |

Created attachment 93521 [details] pulseaudio log Let's say I boot my system with my headphones plugged out, then the sound normally comes out of speaker. If I plug headphone in, speaker get muted, which is normal and what I want. Now, let's say I boot my system with my headphones plugged in, then the sound comes out of headphones, and speaker are muted. The problem is that pulseaudio automatically unmutes speaker when it starts (the volume stays at 0 though), and it shouldn't, considering headphones are still plugged in. This leads to a second problem: 1) I plug out my headphones, they are muted, the speaker is still unmuted, but the speaker volume stays at 0. 2) then, if I plug in headphones again, the speaker is muted and its volume is still 0, as expected. 3) I plug out my headphones, they are muted, the speaker is unmuted and its volume is set to 100. This means that when I boot my system with headphones plugged in, if I want sound from my speakers, I need to plug out/plug in/plug out headphones before it works. I can't find a solution for the problem I am having, I am not sure if there is a pulseaudio setting that control this. I have attached a pulseaudio log just after starting it (headphones were plugged in)
