Yes, that's exactly what's happening! I did all that, then I opened alsamixer and the "Line" element was already muted by default, and unmuting it or changing its volume didn't affect anything; I could still hear the audio coming from both Headphones and Speakers no matter what. > If it doesn't have any effect, this should be reported to alsa. > Instructions here: > <a href="http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Bug_Tracking">http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Bug_Tracking</a> (remember to give them > the alsa-info output, for some reasons when I point people to those > instructions they still sometimes fail to follow them when filing bug > reports to alsa). Thanks for pointing the directions, I'll definitely open a ticket there, but what title and description do you think I should choose? I'm not sure exactly what this bug is and I wouldn't want to "guess" a title/description for it, since I could be misleading... > Here's a new attempt at a workaround in pulseaudio: put this in > analog-output-headphones.conf: > > [Element Auto-Mute Mode] > enumeration = select > > [Option Auto-Mute Mode:Enabled] > name = auto-mute-on > > and this in analog-output-lineout.conf: > > [Element Auto-Mute Mode] > enumeration = select > > [Option Auto-Mute Mode:Disabled] > name = auto-mute-off > Oh my God, thank you soooo much! It worked perfectly!!! Pavucontrol still shows "Line Out" as "unplugged", but I can switch to it and it will still work as expected.
