[Solved] Speakers don't work unless plugin and pull out my headphone

harttle · 2014-01-08 12:17:38

I'm currently working with my Archlinux with KDE. My speakers don't work recently.
I plug my headphone in inadvertently, and it works! Then pull it out, and the speakers started to work.
Now I need use my headphone to trigger the speakers after every reboot.

What should I do with it? What's else I am supposed to paste out here?

Have you checked the volume levels and mute? Volume being set to zero at boot is a common 'problem' with many documented fixes.

If this is not the issue, you should run lsmod before and after plugging in the headphones and diff the two lists.

I've checked them at first and all seems normal.
And nothing happens when I adjust volumn.

I just rebooted and lsmod before and after plug in my headphone, nothing different between the outputs.

lsmod > bad
# plug in and plug out
lsmod > good
diff bad good
# nothing

I am also experiencing this with my Dell laptop. I can't pin down when it is going to happen, sometimes I can unplug the headphones and it works and other times I unplug it and there is nothing from the speakers.

Are you using alsa or oss?

alsa, I believe.
since oss is an old driver package, I installed alsa according to the archwiki.

finally solved.
I configured mixer with `alsamixer` incorrectly, someday.

And solved the problem by running `alsamixer` and adjust accordingly.
To save settings and avoid setting up manually after every boot, run `sudo alsactl store`.
