[LAU] Jack, onboard souncard and headset

[Alf Haakon Pietruszka Lund]

Hello list,

I encountered a small but annoying problem on my Toshiba Sattelite p850
running an updated version of Ubuntu Studio 16.04 LTS:

I'm currently in a location without my regular external soundcard
available and wanted to do some project editing in Ardour.

Running Ardour through jack outputs sound to my onboard speakers,
however it would be convenient to listen through my headset while doing
this. But speakers and headset turns silent as soon as I connect the
headphone jack.

I'd be thankful for any input that might point me in the right direction.

Regards,

Alf

Two things depending on which way your laptop works. Some internal audio
setups will show the speakers (sometimes labeled "Front") and headphones
as two levels and just turning up the level you need will fix this. Others
don't. In this case try looking at this:

Using hda_analyzer to find out which pins your system uses seems to be the
hardest part.

I meant to at least mention that alsamixer or qasmixer is the way to look
at levels. pavucontrol only shows what pulse wants you to know.

Thanks for your suggestions, Len! It seems to have been some sort of
'system hickup' - after rebooting connecting my headset works as
expected (I did open ALSAmixer in a terminal, but didn't change any
settings there).

Thanks again for replying.
