Type Esc to quit - donвЂ™t use Q, as thatвЂ™ll raise the left channel level of the control youвЂ™re on by one step.

Up and down to change levels or select between options. Left and right arrow keys move between controls. If there really isnвЂ™t, then and only then IвЂ™d try going the alsa route: # Find the card# of the device So, my first suggestion is definitely to double-check the Configuration tab, and make sure thereвЂ™s nothing there that will help you. On the вЂњOutput DevicesвЂќ tab, thereвЂ™s a Port selector, but just like yours it only ever shows one option: As a result, it has quite a few different configurations. At the risk of belaboring that point, did you check all of the tabs?ДЇor example, my USB audio device (a literally $10 jobbie I got from Newegg) doesnвЂ™t do any kind of fancy auto-switching, but it does have a bunch of different output configurations because itвЂ™s one of those units with a combo analog/digital headphone jack, where thereвЂ™s an LED at the bottom of the port so you can stick a specially-shaped optical cable in there and use SP/DIF. (Though I guess that was more of a danger when it was in active development, now it seems like itвЂ™s in a holding beat me to the pavucontrol suggestion, as that wouldвЂ™ve been my first instinct as well. It may be possible to do it that way, but itвЂ™s likely that itвЂ™ll mess something up for PulseAudio, or that PulseAudio will mess you up at some point in the future. I highly doubt that ALSA is where you want to fiddle with this. I think it should be possible to separate outputs somehow for alsa but I havenвЂ™t found a way to do it.

Manual says itвЂ™s Realtek В® ALC892 8-channel High Definition Audio CODEC.ДЄplay -l shows it as card 0: PCH, device 0: ALC892 Analog I use desktop computer with Asus motherboardвЂ™s integrated audio. I do use a rather crude workaround for this with alsamixer вЂ“ but itвЂ™s rather clumsy and switches between outputting sound to both devices simultaneously or headphones only вЂ“ not an elegant solution.

IвЂ™ve searched for solution for some time but couldnвЂ™t find anything good. I think IвЂ™ve seen them as separate devices on older (not recent) versions of Fedora as well but I can be mistaken here.

#How to split sound between speakers and headphones windows#

I have to say that Windows does show speakers and headphones as separate output devices and allows switching between them easily вЂ“ so IвЂ™m quite sure the same can be achieved in Linux. I know that sound output switching works ok when I physically remove/connect my headphones, but is there a way to achieve the same without unlugging anything?
