[SOLVED]Some issues with fresh arch install.

I freshly installed arch after a pretty long period of time of using other distributions and forgot how many issues I have to deal with when using it.
Alsamixer does not detect my headphones when i plug them in...(does not mute / unmute automatically speakers / headphones)

And another issue with the xorg server i think, I have a notebook and after every reboot i have to look up after touchpad with xinput --list then   --setprop <id>. How can I make it permanent? It's annoying.

Re: [SOLVED]Some issues with fresh arch install.

Run `alsamixer` and check if the "Auto-Mute" is enabled.

Re: [SOLVED]Some issues with fresh arch install.

It was Disabled, I enabled it. It works now.
Now I have another issue: I use i3 WM and on the notebook i have volume keys(it works out of the box with other distros).
bindsym xf86audiorisevolume exec pactl set-sink-volume 0 -- +10% is the command, sometimes it works sometimes it does not.
Evtest proves that keys are working:

For example, it works now. If I reboot it won't work anymore.

Re: [SOLVED]Some issues with fresh arch install.

Use the keycodes instead, these are mine and they work every time:

	bindsym 0x1008ff13 exec --no-startup-id amixer -c0 set Master 1+
	bindsym 0x1008ff11 exec --no-startup-id amixer -c0 set Master 1-
	bindsym 0x1008ff12 exec --no-startup-id amixer -c0 set Master toggle

amixer -c0 set Master toggle

mutes Master and headphones. When I press it again only Master gets unmuted, headphones remain muted. Any solutions?

Re: [SOLVED]Some issues with fresh arch install.

Add a command to toggle the auto-mute with the same key, perhaps?

Anyway, that command in my i3 set up does not effect the auto-mute mode so there may be something else going on in your system.
Ooops -- my mistake, my system does that as well...

Maybe something to do with pulseaudio -- I didn't have pulseaudio when I used i3 and I didn't notice that problem then.

EDIT: It might be wise to open a fresh thread for this specific problem -- be sure to use a descriptive title to get the attention of the sound experts (not me!).

Re: [SOLVED]Some issues with fresh arch install.

I do agree to take the first issue on multiple issue threads.
Then OP should rectify the title accordingly.
