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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Nice! So if I understand correctly, you needed model=dual-codecs to get until part 2 to work, that is, being able to play sound from Line Out output without needing to unplug Headphones?

If that's the case, is there any difference if you remove that option now?

I will add your finding to the guide but want to be sure where to put it.

It also could be useful to know what are your system details hardware/distribution and the card/sinks information in case they may be useful reference for others, you can share that in this issue (there is an example) or here

Without the model bit I could select either port, but audio would forcibly cut out on the speaker port when headphones were plugged in, even as a 'Pro Audio' device or changing the port in KDE back to 'Line Out'. Finding the model setting allowed me to at least use either port without unplugging a device, though not at the same time with Pro Audio.

I'll get back to you on undoing the model bit and seeing what that does, I'm not gonna have much opportunity to play with it until probably NYE lmao. I'll craft the details in #9 about the same time.

Thanks, will add it as a note at the end of part 2
