[alsa-devel] Issues and/or possible bugs in alsa

[Yomi Ogunwumi]

Hello.

I seem to have run into a few issues with alsa.

First, when I plug my headphones into my laptop, sound continues to play
out of the speakers and doesn't switch over to (or unmute) the headphones.
Auto-Mute Mode is enabled in alsamixer. The same thing happens when I
unplug the headphones, it doesn't switch over to the speakers. I have to do
the same thing I described above, (no unmuting, I just have to turn up the
volume for the speakers in alsamixer.)

Second. When I plug in these headphones, I can't use the internal
microphone on this laptop, it mutes. (AFAICT)
These headphones do not have a microphone built in, they're just an
ordinary pair of headphones. However, I was given a workaround in #alsa on
freenode. In order to use the laptop's internal microphone with my
headphones plugged in, I have to do : sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC1D0 0x22
SET_CONNECT_SEL 6 — it works, but it isn't really ideal.

alsa-info is here : https://gist.github.com/Yomi0/9bfc3e72588cf8a35811

The first file in that gist is alsa-info with headphones and the second is
without headphones.

Third. This is just a question. Is this :
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86676 actually a pulseaudio
bug, or is it an issue with alsa?
I'm only asking since Raymond linked something that seemed to belong to the
alsa project.

Thank you.
