Analog Front Speakers" or "AD1989B Analog (hw: 0,2)" - Skype only),

none of those options sends sound to the HPs. Any thoughts on this?
Because the driver should not allow user to change the independent headphone switch when there is any playing stream
The Independent HP switch is on before starting these apps (vlc and
Skype).
Maybe it's because you set it beforehand? The previous mixer state is restored usually upon login or reboot.

Well, I verify that the Independent HP mode works just before trying these applications so mixer should be in correct state.
Actually, it works fine in Skype when using "AD1989B Analog (hw: 0,2)". I was confused because I changed only "Speakers" to that device and tried making a test sound. That did not work, apparently test sound goes to whatever "Ringing" is set to. But when making actual calls, it works as expected and I can take advantage of the Independent HP feature.
Hm, there should be nothing to touch the indep-HP mixer control from PCM, so I have no idea why it went wrong.
BTW, I guess we have still an issue regarding indep HP. When it's ON, should the auto-mute be disabled, no? Although one can disable the automute manually, it'd be maybe more user-friendly if the driver does it by itself.
The necessary change would be likely trivial, so I'm going to implement it tomorrow.
