headphones mute on boot after Splitting rear and front jacks
Hi everyone,
I'm running Arch Linux and trying to split my audio outputs so I can use my rear jack (speakers) and front jack (headphones) independently for simultaneous playback of different audio streams. My sound card is a Realtek ALC897 on a desktop.
I'm using my speakers connected to the line-in port, which I've overridden to as a Front Speaker (out) using hdajackretask. This works flawlessly. audio plays through the speakers without issues.
I followed this detailed guide on GitHub: https://github.com/luisbocanegra/linux- … udio-ports I went through all the steps, including disabling headphone jack detection, applying the ALSA firmware patch with indep_hp=yes and vmaster=no, creating a custom ALSA profile set, and setting up the udev rule to link it to my card.
Card details from pactl list cards:
alsa_card.pci-0000_2f_00.4, Vendor ID: 0x1022, Product ID: 0x1487
Subdevices from aplay -l:
Device 0 (speakers) and device 2 (headphones)
The splitting itself works as intended! I can play different audio streams simultaneously on speakers and headphones. Per-sink volume control is there, and switching in pavucontrol or KDE's audio widget is fine. but PCM volume in alsamixer doesn't seem to affect anything this started right after following guide step 4.2
The Problem: On every boot, the headphones are muted by default. I have to manually open alsamixer -c1, unmute the Headphone control, and adjust the volume. Once I do that, everything is perfect until the next reboot. auto mute is disabled in alsamixer and I've tried saving the state with
sudo alsactl store
after unmuting and setting volumes, but it doesn't persist – headphones are still muted on boot. also the pcm volume not working upon increasing and decreasing. can anyone help?
Goal : I want to be able to make PCM volume work in alsamixer after splitting rear and front jacks to fix distortion (over-amplification, red bars in pcm) on my speakers and ensure my headphones stay unmuted on boot

Re: headphones mute on boot after Splitting rear and front jacks
alsactl store "should™" normally take effect... what do you get from
systemctl status alsa-restore
sudo alsactl dump-stateit's possible there's an attempt and a fail by wireplumber/pipewire to restore volumes, possibly from an older cache state. Without completely disabling HW volume control by wireplumber (... which could be an option in which case it should leave at least the pcm levels alone: https://pipewire.pages.freedesktop.org/ … properties - note the api.alsa.soft-mixer config option) try removing ~./local/state/wireplumber (...or at least the default-routes in that directory) and restarting it.
Other than that for more targeted help, can you post the files you created and adjusted as they exist on your system as well as
amixer -c1
pactl list cards
pactl list sinksso we all have the same picture of what we're dealing with (and use [code][/code] tags instead of quote for providing outputs)
Another simpler solution would be to just create a oneshot user service that get's invoked after pipewire has started that runs a script with the relevant amixer commands.

Re: headphones mute on boot after Splitting rear and front jacks

Aug 29 00:23:43 archlinux alsactl[630]: /usr/bin/alsactl: set_control:1346: failed to obtain info for control #19 (No such file or directory)No idea how relevant that is, stracing alsactl restore it tries to open every /dev/snd/control* imaginable, but I don't get such errors. I could imagine that the restore runts too early and before your alsa-split-ports.sh runs (where you could simply repeat the restore or move it explicitly, disabling the -restore service)?
Alternatively

Another simpler solution would be to just create a oneshot user service that get's invoked after pipewire has started that runs a script with the relevant amixer commands.
