[SOLVED] Sound through motherboard speakers rather than monitor

Hello,

Basically as the title says. I would like to get sound from my desktop pc to go through the motherboard's speakers.

My graphics card is plugged in directly into my monitor and the sound always comes through my monitor.

Is there any way to do this with such a setup? I'm really not sure if this is a hardware or software problem or if I just need to plug things in differently.
Pulse audio seems to detect all my audio devices fine except everything besides my monitor is listed as unplugged/unavailable.

Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Sound through motherboard speakers rather than monitor

You can switch the default device for pulseaudio from HDMI to the motherboard's audio device. I don't know how to do this on the command line. I use a graphical tool named "pavucontrol". Inside pavucontrol, on the "output devices" tab it has buttons on the right that look like a check mark and have a tooltip with a text "set as fallback". Those buttons switch the default. After the default is changed, all new programs you start will go onto the new device.

If you use a desktop environment like Gnome, KDE, etc., it should have a feature for switching audio outputs somewhere.

Re: [SOLVED] Sound through motherboard speakers rather than monitor

In pavucontrol in the output devices tab I only see my graphics card listed.
In the configuration tab I see two other profiles but all options for them are unplugged/unavailable.
I've tried changing the "Port" on the graphics card in "Output devices" but it didn't work (as in sound stopped working).
I also tried enabling one the of the other profiles from the configuration tab and setting it as default but again as soon as I do that the sound stops working.
Btw I use a WM, I don't have a desktop environment.

Sounds like it could be a lowlevel issue.

Re: [SOLVED] Sound through motherboard speakers rather than monitor

Your system appears to have 3 audio devices , 2 from videocards and the on-board sound .

Udev seems to assign
- audiocard0 to a videocard that can drive 6 HDMI devices (probably the discrete videocard)
- audiocard1 to a videocard that can drive 3 HDMI devices (the integrated GPU ?)
- audiocard2 to the onboard sound.

No idea why pulseaudio chokes on this, but we can force a different ordering on kernel level .

See 3 Understanding /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf for a detailed technical explanation

Create /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (any filename ending with .conf works)  with this content :

options snd-hda-intel index=1,-2,0

reboot, run aplay -l (small ell only this time).
It should list your onboard sound as card0 now.

you can use 

aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

to verify where sound comes from by default.

(speaker-test also works, but I hate the static noise it uses and the amount of lines it outputs).

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Re: [SOLVED] Sound through motherboard speakers rather than monitor

I'm kinda confused as to what happened here.
It looks like what you suggested worked in the sense that card0 is the onboard sound now but it's still not the default.

aplay -l:

  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

In alsamixer the one listed as 'default' is still the graphics card (even though the one at '0' is onboard sound), and so sound still comes through my monitor.
Also I haven't seen any changes in pavucontrol. Everything besides the graphics card is still unplugged unavailable.

Re: [SOLVED] Sound through motherboard speakers rather than monitor

It doesn't seem to detect the speakers you've connected if I read things right. Do you have something else you could connect into the line-out port as an experiment, for example headphones?

Re: [SOLVED] Sound through motherboard speakers rather than monitor

Reads like jack sensing is broken, can you enforce activation with e.g. 

pacmd set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_07_00.6 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo

? Is linux-firmware installed? Maybe also try to get yourself a BIOS/UEFI update, this reads like the BIOS provides bogus jack mappings. Failing all of that, check with hdajackretask on whether you have the ability to override the automatic detection.

Re: [SOLVED] Sound through motherboard speakers rather than monitor

Hello,

So yes linux-firmware is installed. I just checked and it seems there is a newer version of BIOS for my mobo I'll try to update it sometime this week.

That's exactly right. But that's what I'm not sure about, the only thing connected to my monitor is my graphics card and I'm not sure if that's the correct setup.

Anyways if the BIOS update doesn't do it I'll keep trying with some of your other suggestions.

Thanks

Edit: Yeah I so I just updated the BIOS but the problem persists

The motherboard audio has nothing to do with your monitor. The motherboard audio is about what you have connected to your motherboard's audio ports on the back of your PC case or on the front of your PC case.

Re: [SOLVED] Sound through motherboard speakers rather than monitor

Yeah but I should connect the mobo's audio ports to what exactly? That's what I don't get.

Re: [SOLVED] Sound through motherboard speakers rather than monitor

I guess you totally misunderstood things.

If you want to use the speakers that are built into your monitor, those get their audio data through the graphics card. Those speakers have nothing to do with your motherboard audio.

The motherboard audio is for when you want to connect headphones that use a 3.5mm plug, or if you want to use speakers that sit on your desk and use a 3.5mm plug. If you connect those kinds of devices to your PC, then you will have the motherboard audio show up as a possible output device in programs like "pavucontrol".

Re: [SOLVED] Sound through motherboard speakers rather than monitor

Yeah so that's what I completely missed. I initially thought that my mobo came with built in speakers that I could use somehow.
Didn't realize I had to buy separate ones and plug them into the audio ports.

Thanks a lot for clearing things up guys.
