[SOLVED] Headphones plugged into monitor are not properly recognized
I have Dell S2419H monitor, which has speakers and audio output, plugged to laptop. After some reading I set up monitor speakers to be playback device on HDMI connection, and plugging headphones in jack on laptop successfully intercepts playback as expected. However, when I plug headphones directly to monitor, sound plays both through speakers and headphones. I'm using Pulseaudio for managing all that stuff.

Re: [SOLVED] Headphones plugged into monitor are not properly recognized
Very likely, check the settings of your monitor on whether it has an option to mute the speakers with headphones connected, I doubt the OS itself sees anything from this.

Thanks for the reply, but it is a hardware limitation.
