[SOLVED] Pulseaudio, sound coming from both headphone and laptop speak

I switched to PulseAudio a while back, everything is working fine, except I can't find a way to get sound "only" in headphones.
"Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" has three Ports: 'Analog Output', 'Speakers' and 'headphones'. Choosing Speakers give no sound, and choosing Analog output and headphones gives sound from both headphones (if it's attached) and laptop speakers.
I have pavucontrol installed but can't find any option for it in it either. Any suggestions?

That code looks specific to that sound card, though I tried it anyways, by changing
device=hw:M2496
to
device=hw:1
(where  1 is index of my card), but now I can't get any sound from my sound card. I have commented out those lines, removed .config/pulse, restarted pulseaudio, restarted laptop, but I still can't get any sound from that soundcard anymore.  (EDIT: Apparently sound was muted in Kmix (thought it wasn't in pavucontrol), don't know how that works, maybe I missed something, anyways, I am again getting sound, but everything else is same.)
And my original problem still remains.
I am assuming if I know the names of channels (for headphone and laptop speaker), I can create a new sink/source and use that to route the sound properply, but I can't figure out exactly how to do all that.

  • Sound Coming From Both Headphone and Speaker (Elitebook 8460p)

    I have windows 7 64-bit and when I plug headphones into the jack in the front right, the sound comes out of both the speaker and headphones. Here's what I've tried to fix the problem:
    1) BIOS update to P20
    2) Audio driver update to latest on HP site
    3) Make headphones not the communication default
    I'm running out of options here, and it seems like nothing will solve this. Thanks

    I've got the same problem as well. It's very frustrating. Does anyone have an answer?

  • Sound coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time in probook 4440s

    I have a Probook 4440s with windows 8 pro(64 bit) with IDT high definition codec installed. Yesterday when i was playing some songs i noticed that the sound was coming from both headphones and speakers even when my headphones are plugeed in and my lappy was having no such problems a few hours earliers while i was watching a movie. Please help..

    It may be because you have both the internal speakers and headphones enabled at the sametime on your laptop. This might just happen automatically when you plug your headphones in. You need to manage your audio devices on your laptop.
    Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sounds> Manage Audio Devices> Playback Tab (which should already be selected)    
    In the playback tab there should be a list of all the audio devices you are using on your computer. Right click on the one you don't want to use and click disable. This should stop the sound coming from that audio device. 
    Remember: You will need to enable that audio device if you want to listen to sound through it again. Your internal speakers won't work once you enable them again. This might also be the case with your headphones. You may also have to do this every time your plug in a device or once you restart your computer.
    Another note: Sometimes disabled devices will not show up on the audio device list so once you disable a device it will dissappear. This is an easy fix too. Just right click on an audio device and make sure show disabled devices and show disconnected devices is checked.
    I hope this helps.
    (I was using a computer with Windows XP to explain the instructions but it should be similar with your Windows Operating System. You may however have to play around a little on your computer because it may be slightly different)

  • Headphones plugged in, but sound is coming out from both headphones and speakers

    My laptop has had this problem for quite some time now, it first materialized when I updated to Windows 8.1. I had recently upgraded to Windows 10, and the problem fixed itself. But when I used the laptop the next day, it reverted back to playing from both headphones and speakers, so it's not really a problem with the hardware. I've also restored the laptop multiple times (using restore point), and the problem gets fixed for a day, then comes back the next day. I've tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it, but no luck.
    Laptop does not recognize the headphones even when they're plugged in.
    Any other solutions?

    Hi @Alpha_ ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 14-b017c  Sleekbook and not playing sound correctly. Here is a document on troubleshooting sound.
    Here is another step to try.
    1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
    2. Select Playback devices
    3. Right click Speakers IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio is your default.
    4. Enable it and set as Default
    5. Click Apply/Ok 
    Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues as headphones or speakers.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
    Hope this helps with the sound.
    Thanks.

  • Chit chat sound coming from hp 15 r007tx laptop

    I had bought an hp r007tx laptop 5 month ago. For the couple of month it works fine and after that i notice a chit chat sound is coming from my laptop at booting time( in fact ,it always comes when my laptop is in processing means everytime when i scan my laptop for viruses by an anti-virus program or copying files from one place to another place on hard disk) . The intensity or loudness of sound is not very much , you can hear it only when you takes your ears down beneath the laptop or working in very silent conditions. First of all i think that may be all the laptops used to produce this type of sound, so i check different laptops of my friends but i found that no one laptop is making the same(i also check the same model laptop of my friend).That's why i went to service center and told them the problem, then they said that it is an hard disk issue . So they replace my hard disk. When i fetch my laptop from service center and install the o.s , I experienced the same problem. So i don't know what is the actual problem in my laptop , please help me in sorting this type of problem.

    All hard drives making some sounds , that is normal , even brand new ones.
    If you want dead silence get SSD.

  • Access Printer from both desktop and laptop

    Can i install a  HP Photosmart 5510 on my desktop using the usb connection, and access the same printer from my laptop using wifi?  Desktop is XP Pro and Laptop isn 64 bit Windows 7.

    You can, but why?  The 5510 is a network-able printer.  Connect it wirelessly to your wireless router and be able to print AND scan from both computers.  
    Sharing via USB will only sharing printing, not scanning.  It is hard to set up and the host computer can never go to sleep!

  • After XP downgrade, sound comes through both headphones and speakers

    Hi Forum Family,
    I recently downgraded my Pavilion dv2615nr from Vista to Windows XP. Managed to install all the drivers and then followed advice from CherylG (to whom I owe my ability to do anything with this laptop, frankly) to get the sound working.
    My remaining problem is that plugging in my headphones doesn't cut off the sound through my speakers.
    I have tried reinstalling the drivers following Cheryl G's advice but it returns me to the same problem.
    Can anyone help a newbie?

  • Record sound coming from a headphone jack

    I have stereo whose only output option is a headphone jack.
    I've tried connecting to an aux input for the speakers connected to my iMac and directly into the line in port but am having trouble finding software to capture the recordings.
    Audacity, Apowersoft Audio Recorder, Adobe Audition will not recognize the input.
    QuickTime, GarageBand and Audio Hijack all recognize the input, but only records and plays back out of one channel (and yes, the balance is set to the middle). But when I'm using the aux input from the speakers, both channels play.
    What type of device do I need to connect between the stereo's headphone jack the line in port?

    We need to know which iMac variant (there are over a hundred) and what version of the Mac OS you are running. Those affect how you get to a result.

  • 2 Thunderbolt displays   MBP = sound coming from both displays?

    Hello everyone,
    So my question is: "Is it possible to make my both thunderbolt displays to produce sound to? Currently I can choose either one of them or my macbook pro, but maybe somehow it's possible to make it go thru both of the displays?"
    They are connected to macbook pro via thunderbolt.

    Success!!!
    Okay this got a bit complicated, but I found the right mix of software to make this work.  So here's again the hardware and software setup:
    TD = Thunderbolt Display
    CH = Channel
    MBP = MacBookPro
    L = Left Speaker
    R = Right Speaker
    TD1 (L/R)    |    TD2 (L/R)    |    MBP (L/R)
    iTunes => SoundFlower => Jack => Aggregate Device => 6 speakers!
    Stereo audio only has 2 channels (left and right).  So the trick is to get 2 system channels to map to the 6 speaker channels I have. 
    Step 1: Setup an Aggregate device to merge the 3 sets of speakers into one aggregate. 
    1-1: In Lion, go to Apps > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    1-2: Click the + in the bottom left and select Create aggregate device.
    1-3: Select the 3 devices: Built-in Output, Display Audio, Display Audio (there are 2)
    1-4: Click Configure Speakers
    1-5: Select all 3 streams at the top
    1-6: Click Multichannel and then select Hexagonal (this gives you 6 virtual speakers in the graphic)
    1-7: I don't think this step is required, but map the channels to the right locations.  For me this was a little confusing because TD1 was channels 3 & 4, TD2 was 5 & 6 and, and MBP is 1 & 2.  From top left going clockwise, I selected 4, 5, 1, 2, 6, 3. 
    1-8: You can click the speaker for each one to hear a test tone to make sure you have them right.  It's right if the 2 left ones come out of the left screen, the 2 center ones from the center screen, and the 2 right ones from the macbook.
    1-9: Right down the numbers so that you know which ones you want for left and which ones you want for right.
    Okay, now this is enough to get audio from 2 devices, but stopping here you'd lose your volume control and 4 of your 6 speakers.
    Step 2: Install 3 apps (all free):
    2-1: Download SoundFlower from http://cycling74.com/soundflower-landing-page/
    2-2: Download JackOSX from http://www.jackosx.com/
    2-3: Download JackOsX Autostart from http://www.jackosx.com/
    Step 3: Setup Jack
    3-1: Install Jack
    3-2: Start JackPilot and go to Preferences
    3-3: Setup input-output device as Aggregate Device that you setup in step 1
    3-4: Interface Output Channels should show 6 (6 speakers!).  Set Virtual Output channels to 2 (stereo)
    3-5: Uncheck auto-connect with physical ports
    3-6: Save changes and start the Jack server if it's not running.
    Step 4: Setup Soundflower
    4-1: Install Soundflower
    4-2: Click the flower in the task bar and then choose JackRouter under the 2-channel at the top
    4-3: In Lion, go to Apps > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    4-4: Find Soundflower (2 ch) and click it, then on the right select Output and then configure speakers
    4-5: Select Stero and then set the left speaker as 1 and the right as 2.  Testing the speakers here will likely do nothing.  That's okay.
    Step 5: Finish Jack
    5-1: Go to Connection Manager
    5-2: Note: this part was a pain -- the UI is funky, so be patient.  Click only how described.
    5-3: Open the various sub-sections until you can see Soundflowerbed under the Send Ports and see out1 and out2 (the stereo ports) and the System under Receive Ports and you should see playback_1 thru playback_6
    5-4: Carefully single-click out1 then double-click the first left speaker channel.  Single-click out1 again and then double-click 2nd left speaker channel.  Single-click out1 again and then double-click 3rd left speaker channel.
    5-5: Carefully single-click out2 then double-click the first right speaker channel.  Single-click out2 again and then double-click 2nd right speaker channel.  Single-click out2 again and then double-click 3rd right speaker channel.
    5-6: Close the connections manager
    Load up iTunes or something else and play music.  If everything is setup correctly, all 6 speakers should be going with 3 left playing the left channel and the 3 right playing the right channel!
    And since you're using Soundflower, your volume controls on your keyboard, etc, should work just fine.  Note: you can tweak your individual volume controls back in the aggregate device setup if you need to fine-tune something.
    Hopefully that all worked for you!  Let me know how you made out!

  • [RESOLVED] How can I use front headphones and rear speaker jack as separate output ports?

    My Optiplex 7010 has your usual onboard sound configuration -- speaker and microphone jacks in both the front and rear. Recently my USB headset (which I use for conference calls) developed a short and while I wait for a new set to arrive, I'm temporarily
    using an old set that still needs mini stereo jacks.
    So I plugged the headset in to the front jacks, and left the external speakers plugged in to the rear jacks. Unfortunately the Windows sound configuration for this system only recognizes one "High Definition Audio Device" and if I plug in the headset,
    the external speakers stop working.
    My goal is to have phone/Lync calls go through the headset, but all other sounds -- most importantly contact alerts -- go through the external speakers.  Is that possible?  OS is Windows 7 Enterprise.
    [edited to close this question] The short answer is, you can't get there from here unless your sound card supports assigning a different device name to the front jacks vs. the back jacks, which mine does not.

    Fairly sure that would depend on the specific sound card in the machine and the drivers and related software you have installed on your machine. By default I believe most sound cards are configured to report to Windows that you have one sound input/output,
    so the same sound comes from both front and back depending on what you have plugged into them. In order to get Windows to see them as separate connections and allow you to send different sound output to each you'd need to configure that in your sound card
    driver software.
    For example, see
    http://www.eightforums.com/sound-audio/37996-realtek-hd-audio-only-shows-one-audio-output-time.html which discusses setting up essentially the same thing as you're after on a machine with a realtek sound card, and includes screen shots of the software and
    where to configure it. I don't know if your machine is using a Realtek card for sure, if not you'd obviously need the driver software for the card, but looking online it looks like the OptiPlex 7010's do indeed use them.

  • TS1425 My iPod Classic was working fine all day.  Came home and uploaded to voice memos via iTunes, now there is no sound coming from my iPod.  I've used both headphones and a docking station.  The songs don't even begin, they just skip to the next one.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Have you tried resetting the PMU?
    I'm not optimistic that this will help any more than the procedures you've already tried, but it won't hurt to try.
    Do you still have your OS 9 installation? If so, try booting into OS 9 and see if the problems with the audio are happening there, too. If so, you can bet it's a hardware problem.
    How big is your hard drive and how much space remains available on it? If you don't have your OS 9 installation in order to check out whether it's a hardware problem and you have enough available hard drive space, you may want to try an Archive and Install of the OS in order to make sure it isn't an OS X system-wide problem. If that doesn't do it, you could back up your hard drive and restore your software.
    All of this may just be spinning your wheels, but it's all stuff you can try before shelling out a lot of money for repairs.

  • Sound from both Speakers and headphones at the same time

    I have a Pavilion Sleekbook 15-b003ee 
    recently i have a very annoying problem anytime i plug in a headphone on the sound comes from both the laptop speakers and the headphones 
    I tried the following 
    1- Changed the driver tried both versions on the HP support
    2- changed the headphones tried 3 of them and the same problem
    3- tried the Microsoft HD Audio driver (no sound could comeout from the headphones)
    4- tried disabling the communication device from the control panel while the speakers is on and vise versa 
    5- A system restore 
    still the same problem and i think it maybe an malfunction from the hardware or the headphones jack port on the laptop but how does the sound still come out from the headphones ?
    I thought of buying a USB headphones but the laptop is no more than 3 months old so i think i still on warranty and such if it is a hardware problem , I am currently in Egypt bought the laptop from Egypt also

    HELP!!!!!!!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
