Ok, so there is indeed some improvement. That's good. Now for the automute - which I understand is the remaining problem? - here's what *should* be happening:
Look at /proc/asound/SB/codec#0 Node 0x14 is the front line out. Whenever you plug headphones in, the "OUT" status should turn off, and then it should be turned on again when you unplug. That should then mute/unmute the line out. Like this: Node 0x14 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40058d: Stereo Amp-Out Control: name="Front Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=Out, idx=0, ofs=0 Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x00, nsteps=0x00, stepsize=0x00, mute=1 Amp-Out vals: [0x00 0x00] Pincap 0x0001003e: IN OUT HP EAPD Detect Trigger EAPD 0x2: EAPD Pin Default 0x01014010: [Jack] Line Out at Ext Rear Conn = 1/8, Color = Green DefAssociation = 0x1, Sequence = 0x0 Pin-ctls: 0x40: OUT <----------------------------------------- Headphones not plugged in, OUT present Unsolicited: tag=00, enabled=0 Power states: D0 D1 D2 D3 Power: setting=D0, actual=D0 Connection: 1 0x0c Node 0x14 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40058d: Stereo Amp-Out Control: name="Front Playback Switch", index=0, device=0 ControlAmp: chs=3, dir=Out, idx=0, ofs=0 Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x00, nsteps=0x00, stepsize=0x00, mute=1 Amp-Out vals: [0x00 0x00] Pincap 0x0001003e: IN OUT HP EAPD Detect Trigger EAPD 0x2: EAPD Pin Default 0x01014010: [Jack] Line Out at Ext Rear Conn = 1/8, Color = Green DefAssociation = 0x1, Sequence = 0x0 Pin-ctls: 0x00: <------------------------------------------------------- Headphones plugged in, "OUT" is now disabled from line out Unsolicited: tag=00, enabled=0 Power states: D0 D1 D2 D3 Power: setting=D0, actual=D0 Connection: 1 0x0c Also ensure "Automute mode" is set to "Enabled" in alsamixer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871582 Title: M4A89GTD_PRO_USB3/Realtek ALC892, Green Headphone Out, Front] Playback problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/871582/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
