[SOLVED] No sound on speakers only on Headphones

Hi everyone,
I have searched a lot for this problem, but with no conclusions.. I use my arch linux instalation with Gnome3 and Pulseaudio. I never had this problem with gnome2 and alsa. At work I only use headphones, so I boot the pc with the headphones already connected (maybe an error occured here...), today I was trying to listen to music without the headphones but impossible....

I have always checked alsamixer (all the channels are in max volume), i had already checked the selected card and the selected output (Analog Speaker, even with analog Output or Analog Headphone it doesn't work)...

I've already have this issue one time, and I solved i don't really remember who...

if this can help :

lsmod | grep snd

Re: [SOLVED] No sound on speakers only on Headphones

Are the headphones still plugged in? Do you have a 'headphone jack sense' slider in your audio controls?

No the headphones are not plugged in (I didn't had this issue when I installed gnome3 for the first time), a headphone hack sense ?... I dont think so :S...

Re: [SOLVED] No sound on speakers only on Headphones

I everyone, I've solved the problem, there is my solution :
1 - remove all the files in ~/.pulse/ (or make a backup)
2 - remove alsa from the daemon (in rc.conf)
3 - remove the alsa configuration file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state

Then in the volume controler select Analog Speaker, and reboot.

Thanks for all ^^

Re: [SOLVED] No sound on speakers only on Headphones

For me ,
I installed alsa-utils using pacman -S  alsa-utils
and started running it by "alsamixer"

Selected sound card using f6 key .

it worked
