HP desktop pc with audio line-out / headphone jack in front and rear AND
a built-in mono speaker.

Hardware: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family)
HD Audio Controller (rev 02)

Debian wheezy stable system with pulseaudio 2.0-6.1

With alsa there is a ""Simple mixer control 'Independent HP'" if set to
  * "Enable", sound is /only/ audible through the built-in speaker
  * "Disable", sound is /only/ audible through the connected headphone/line-out

With pulseaudio (thanks a lot to poljar #pulseaudio IRC !):
 (1.) If I unplug any line-out audio cable aka headphone cables, then
      * pactl set-sink-port 0 analog-output-headphones
        Makes sound only be audible through the built-in internal mono speaker
      * pactl set-sink-port 0 analog-output-speaker
        Makes no sound audible (which seems to be exactly how it should be :)

 (2.) If I plug an headphone cable either rear or front, then:
      * pactl set-sink-port 0 analog-output-headphones
        Makes sound /only/ be audible through the plugged headphone/line-out
BUT:
      * pactl set-sink-port 0 analog-output-speaker
        Makes sound /only/ be audible through the plugged headphone/line-out TOO

<poljar> statement: that sounds wrong, analog-output-speaker should
either tagged as not available if the hardware prevents it to output to
the speaker while something is connected or it should work, so feel free
to report a bug

I created for both cases (1.) and (2.) the pulseaudio-output and the
client-output. I hope you find them useful. Please let me know if you
need anything else.

The system is a headless server system.
pulseaudio is running as user pulse

To get the pulseaudio-output it ran like this (debian default with
changed --log-target and added -vvvvvv):

/usr/bin/pulseaudio -vvvvvv --system --disallow-exit --daemonize --log-
target=file:/tmp/pulseaudio.log --high-priority --disallow-module-
loading=1

So unter pulse I did not find any way yet to use the built-in speaker for 
sound-output when I have a headphone/line-out plugged.
Even though under alsa I am able to toggle the output to come through the 
built-in speaker and with or without a headphone/line-out plugged!

This is bugging me, because I have my stereo plugged all the time to the
system, but it ONLY gets turned on, when I need it. So important system
notifications should be played through speaker.

Please help :)

Thanks a lot in advance !

Tormen.

Hi,

Are you suggesting that pulseaudio would need to differentiate between
desktop speaker and notebook speaker to work properly?

And is this question meant for me to answer ? - I am having this problem
on a desktop PC. Otherwise unfortunately I would not know what to answer
you.

Also I am not sure that I understand the implications of your Comment #5:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70865#c5

So .... my system implements a "Front Playback Volume and Switch"
instead of "PCM Playback Volume and Switch" and this is what breaks it
for me ?

Did you come to a conclusion? Do you need more input?

Thanks a lot for your guidance!

Tormen

As pulseaudio did not have any conf file to use "PCM Playback Switch"


better to name the playback switch to Front instead of PCM when the mute is at 
pin complex of Line Out

Line Out has PCM playback switch is due to this patch

volume is ok but mute switch is not shared by two outputs ( at least on hp 
dc5800)


 /* for a single channel output, we don't have to name the channel */
 if (cfg->line_outs == 1 && !spec->multi_ios)
- return "PCM";
+ return (ctl_type == NID_PATH_MUTE_CTL) ? channel_name[ch] : "PCM";
