[SOLVED]Audio Playing in Incorrect Channel
I am having trouble getting my audio channels to work properly. I have two audio devices: a graphics card and a headset (connected to the motherboard rear plate). The headset has 5.1 surround sound, but Alsa seems to have given priority to the gpu's display port audio. Rear left and rear right audio are being played out through the headset, but all other audio goes into the gpu's display port instead of towards my desired location.
Using Audio under System Settings in kde system settings, the headphones are the playback device Line Out (Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller Analog Surround 5.1). Using the audio test button on this "inactive" device does allow the "rear left" and "rear right" voicelines to occur, but all other channels have no report. It seems to be a similar issue to the one in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=186597

Re: [SOLVED]Audio Playing in Incorrect Channel
Unless your headset has literally at least three analog jacks/or is connected via a digital link (or a own DAC via an usb connection) then your headset cannot have 5.1 Surround, and whatever marketing speech that tells you this is lying to you and whatever "surround" there is is done in software rather than a native feature of the headset (or the headset is indeed just generally doing that internally, but from the POV of your PC you'll still just have a "stereo" output and the headset using some heuristics to emulate this). Which headset is this exactly, which kind of cable(s)?
As for these outputs from a pulse pov your displayport is disabled, whatever you are trying it cannot physically "prefer the displayport" as it's a seperate card, why do you surmise that? The tests you've done do not play back on the other channels at all if I'm reading you correctly which would totally be what I'd expect, unless you actually hear them out of your monitor, which would make no sense at all, given the information presented here.
Also if you are using pulse you should remove that /etc/asound.conf and install pulseaudio-alsa instead, but this will not have much relevance towards the actual issue.
If you are looking for virtual surround there exists pulse modules for that but those assume the normal case of a stereo plug and will just logically emulate this in a stereo space.

Unless your headset has literally at least three analog jacks/or is connected via a digital link (or a own DAC via an usb connection) then your headset cannot have 5.1 Surround, and whatever marketing speech that tells you this is lying to you and whatever "surround" there is is done in software rather than a native feature of the headset (or the headset is indeed just generally doing that internally, but from the POV of your PC you'll still just have a "stereo" output and the headset using some heuristics to emulate this). Which headset is this exactly, which kind of cable(s)?
As for these outputs from a pulse pov your displayport is disabled, whatever you are trying it cannot physically "prefer the displayport" as it's a seperate card, why do you surmise that? The tests you've done do not play back on the other channels at all if I'm reading you correctly which would totally be what I'd expect.
Also if you are using pulse you should remove that /etc/asound.conf and install pulseaudio-alsa instead, but this will not have much relevance towards the actual issue.
If you are looking for virtual surround there exists pulse modules for that but those assume the normal case of a stereo plug and will just logically emulate this in a stereo space.
I bought the headset three years ago, and misremembered it as having surround sound. It's the Sennheiser Game One headset. It's got two cables, one ending in a pink mic cable and a green audio cable, with the other having only one connection that goes into an audio location.
When it comes to the display port, I noticed what I believed to be a pattern in the things that I could not hear audio in. I could hear audio during the darkest dungeon intro cinematic, during youtube videos, and in all of portal. I couldn't hear audio while in-game in Darkest Dungeon or in Monster Train. If I replugged my headset into the monitor that the display port is hooked into, though, I could hear them. I came to believe that those games, because they were two-dimensional, were probably only using the front audio channels, which were somehow being exclusively sent through the display port. I concluded that it was only the front audio channels I couldn't hear.
I've been going through a lot of fixes that I've tried to get online for this problem. I don't think I was using pulse audio, but someone said they fixed a similar problem using its gui, so I tried to use it too. I must've done something to the settings by accident, because now I'm not getting audio at all. I don't actually care about surround sound, I just want all the audio to be going to the same place in my motherboard's audio. As long as its functioning correctly in that manner.
I did also get Kmix while I was setting up my desktop.

Re: [SOLVED]Audio Playing in Incorrect Channel
Yes that train of thought starts to make more sense. The reasons your games might "prefer" the displayport is because they are 32bit and you not having the relevant 32bit libs installed that would properly reroute them to pulseaudio, hence them fallng back to ALSA and there to the default device which is indeed the HDMI card by default. Make sure lib32-libpulse and lib32-alsa-plugins are installed in addition to pulseaudio-alsa. Then you'd change the pulse card profile to normal stereo and select the back line-out.
FWIW to make sense of your current setup post
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sinks
pacmd list-sink-inputswith some test application trying to output audio.

Re: [SOLVED]Audio Playing in Incorrect Channel
lib32-alsa-plugins was already installed, but lib32-libpulse was not. I installed lib32-libpulse. I do notice that I now have two audio icons in my task bar. Opening one gives me Kmix, and the other brings me to audio in system settings. Having changed the line out audio type in the music settings drop down, I'm now at a point where I can select my headphones as line out in the audio mixer to get things to play through my headset, but every time I start a new source of audio, I have to go back into the mixer and once again click the line-out. So it's playing, and I can force it if I need to, but it's consistently defaulting to the video card still.
I've got librewolf playing youtube for this test while I type these commands. It's playing aesthetic song right now, but it was playing Murder Drones earlier:

Is it possible that I need to uninstall kmix in order to fix the audio? Could they be conflicting?
EDIT:
Audio only plays out through the headphones with the Analog Stereo Duplex profile with the Line Out Port
EDIT2:
Alright, I turned "Navi 21 HDMI Audio *graphics card*" off in the configuration tab of pulse audio control, and now everything is defaulting to the motherboard audio the way it should be. I'm not entirely comfortable marking this as solved because it hasn't been working for very long, but I'm feeling very optimistic.
I'll consider it solved if it's still working tomorrow evening.
EDIT3:
I still have to reselect the "Line out (unplugged)" option every time my pc boots. It works as desired for the rest of the session.

Re: [SOLVED]Audio Playing in Incorrect Channel
Kmix will use pulseaudio as a backend if it sees it running, so there's no conflict, but it's also not really necessary as plasma has a more visually integrated pulse mixer in plasma-pa, use whichever you prefer (you can disable the plasma integrated one if you edit your system tray settings). The remaining issue comes down to jack detection issues of your soundcard, but you can overrule that, edit your /etc/pulse/default.pa and append
.nofail
set-output-port alsa_output.pci-0000_0e_00.4.analog-stereo analog-output-lineoutto the end. That way pulse should do this switch you are currently doing itself during startup.

After setting that, it still defaults to "Headphones (unplugged)" instead of "Line Out (unplugged)". I also tried changing it to
.nofail
set-output-port alsa_output.pci-0000_0e_00.4.analog-stereo-duplex analog-output-lineoutbut that didn't automatically set the correct audio output either.

Re: [SOLVED]Audio Playing in Incorrect Channel
After appending that to the file, there was no change. I was unable to use my pc the last week because of irl obligations. Without turning my computer on since the third of the month, I changed some of my hardware. I switched out my corsair avenger rgb ram for the non-rgb model (to fit better in with my cpu cooler). In this process, I had to disconnect and reconnect my cpu fans. I switched the PSU off, cutting power to the motherboard.
I also replaced my Razer keyboard and Razer mouse with a Ducky keyboard and a Zowie mouse because Razer's drivers didn't jive with the FOSS and KISS principles that I'm trying to embrace as I get deeper into Linux.
I also took out some usb's that I had forgotten were in my pc from the installation process. Attempting to start the computer then caused a uuid disk not found error because I had accidentally put those usbs in my fstab. I know that shouldn't be possible if I didn't consciously mount them during installation, but I had my reasons that lay outside the scope of this topic. I rewrote my fstab with the usb's unmounted and rebooted. There was an issue where the keyboard and mouse's inputs were not correctly interpreted on startup (the keyboard would interpret backspaces as a character, and force the mouse into the upper-left corner). After rebooting again, the issue disappeared.
After that reboot, I updated my packages without even putting on my headset. After rebooting again, the audio was playing through the correct output on startup without any manual adjustments. Rebooting again proved that this was not a fluke. Regardless of what individual step or combination of steps fixed the issue, I'll consider this completely solved by this time tomorrow if the audio continues to function as expected for 24 hours.
