 |
|
When I plug my wired headphones into the headphone jack I don't get any sound at all. Here are the USE flags that I used:
| Code: |
[ebuild R ] media-video/pipewire-1.0.7-r1:0/0.4::gentoo USE="X dbus extra jack-client pipewire-alsa readline sound-server ssl -bluetooth -doc -echo-cancel -ffmpeg
-flatpak -gsettings -gstreamer -ieee1394 -jack-sdk -liblc3 -lv2 -man -modemmanager -roc (-selinux) (-system-service) -systemd -test -v4l -zeroconf" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)"
[ebuild R ] media-video/wireplumber-0.5.3:0/0.5::gentoo USE="elogind (-system-service) -systemd -test" LUA_SINGLE_TARGET="lua5-4 -lua5-3"
|
The kernel I use is the gentoo-kernel-bin:
| Code: |
[ebuild R ] sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin-6.6.41:6.6.41::gentoo USE="initramfs (-generic-uki) -modules-compress -test"
|
I really don't know what's going on with the headphone problem.

You mention headphone jack specifically, so I assume builtin speakers work?
Are your headphones muted by any chance?
Pipewire has some kind of profiles associated with active outputs and e.g. automatically adjusts volume when connecting/disconnecting headphones. Very useful, but can catch an unsuspecting user off-guard

My USB speaker and builtin speaker work just fine, it's just that when I plug my headphones into my headphone jack no sound is outputted.
I don't know if I am missing some sort of profile in Pipewire when I am trying to get the output through my wired headphones, any clues on where I could check for some sort of muted profile?
The command:
Gives an output of:
| Code: | 53 Midi-Bridge:Midi Through:(capture_0) Midi Through Port-0
46 alsa_output.pci-0000_04_00.1.hdmi-stereo:monitor_FL
45 alsa_output.pci-0000_04_00.1.hdmi-stereo:monitor_FR
58 alsa_output.pci-0000_04_00.6.analog-stereo:monitor_FL
60 alsa_output.pci-0000_04_00.6.analog-stereo:monitor_FR
61 alsa_input.pci-0000_04_00.6.analog-stereo:capture_FL
62 alsa_input.pci-0000_04_00.6.analog-stereo:capture_FR
64 alsa_output.usb-CD002_CD002_CD002-01.analog-stereo:monitor_FL
66 alsa_output.usb-CD002_CD002_CD002-01.analog-stereo:monitor_FR
|
If that's of any help.
Thanks for reaching out to me again! |

| Did it ever work before pipewire? I always thought switching to the headphone jack from the built-in speaker is done by hardware with no software involved. |

I also think it's switched by hardware, so it should just_work™, but it can also send ACPI event informing software that the output device has changed triggering profile switch, which allows to e.g. adjust volume instead of blowing user's ears out.

Uhm.... Your volume control would be a good start.
Also, when you're playing something through bultin speakers, and you plug in headphones, the sound immediately goes out instead of being redirected to headphones, and returns when you unplug, right?
This change doesn't only affect sound streams opened _afterwards_ right?
Are headphones known to work?

Okay so I disconnected my external USB speaker, after that I plugged in my headphones, and now it seems to work. Not sure why it doesn't just automatically switch to my headphones while the USB speaker is plugged in but oh well.
Thanks for letting me know that, I can use my headphones again!  |

That suggests pipewire was routing audio to a different device than you expected, though this should have been easily noticeable.....
Glad you found a solution that works for you. Still, pw-link can display links too, it might be worth checking them out for future reference.
