View Full Version : Alsa audio codec issue

I just assembled my new machine running arch.

When I plug in headphones to the front panel sound comes through them but also comes through the speakers still.

I have tried muting various things in alsamixer with no success.

Some outputs that may help:


$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec\#* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC889


$ lspci | grep Audio
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)

(its the ATI one I want. The nvidia one is simply the HDMI on my GPU)

I've done a fair amount of googleing but I'm not good with sound.

Spent most of the morning getting the new Saitek cyborg R.A.T.5 mouse to work XD.

Would be glad of some help

(also posted on the arch forums)

thanks

Matt

Note:

I do NOT have pulseaudio installed. Would it help in any way?

I have no problems getting sound to play from multiple programs at once.
