Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
Likely impossible, with output paths switched in hardware when inserting a headphone.
Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
I get it set up with qasmixer (not installed by default): Set "Auto-Mute Mode" (on lower-left of GUI, *if* it's present) to "Disabled".
Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] if/when it is solved!
Your data and OS are backed up....right?

Must be possible Mixx can do it. So there must be command for that.
Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
Ok lets make it simpler
Alarm Clock for LM able to play sound thru speakers while headphones on ???
Very simple feature every clock on Android has.

Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
It's probably something like
pacmd set-sink-port 1 analog-output-lineout
or pacmd set-sink-port 1 analog-output-speakers
depending what you mean by speakers. Are they built-in, or connected to the Line out port? The number 1 is for the card number involved. Yours may be 0 or higher than 1. The output of aplay -l
will give you your card numbers.Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
Oh, you want to just play a sound to the port. Give me a few minutes and I might find something.
Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
Yes I want bloody aplay to play sound to port.
How to make aplay or anything to do that ???

Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
aplay -l gives me some random drop.
I have one card only one sound card.
Now if I have Bluetooth or headphones on I don't want my alarm to be played on them.

Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
It's a little too involved for me to figure out at this time, but it is something I'm interested in trying to figure out. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.
It may be too much work for me to find and understand so I can't make any guarantees.
Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
I am going thru your web site, you know tons more about that then me.
This is annoying Linux still needs tons of development.
Don't tell me there is no Alarm Clock for Linux capable of doing that ???
You see problem atm is that I use headphones now but my active port is still: active port: <analog-output-speaker>

Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
Actually simple "sleep 8h" would allow me to run script.
But what to put to my script ??
I guess I am working now on development of Linux Alarm clocks now .........LOL..../°)
Might actually write them request on GitHub /°)
Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
That usually means you have a jack detection and/or pin config issue. You're actually lucky sound is working right now.bartszu wrote: ⤴Mon Mar 25, 2019 9:10 pm I am going thru your web site, you know tons more about that then me.

I believe what you want is possible, but I'm not certain we can get there without either a script of hundreds of lines or causing issues with currently playing sounds. The issue with currently playing sounds is most likely to be the biggest stumbling block. But I am going to try to figure it out. The agonizing part is the lack of simple-to-understand documentation.
Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
No documentation again, well what a surprise.
So I guess we are in try it yourself game :°)

Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
pacmd set-sink-port 0 analog-output-headphones
This change my output to headphones.
But this:
pacmd set-sink-port 0 analog-output-speakers && audacious example.mp3
Resets it to analog-output-speakers, but because headphones pin is in, sound plays thru them.

Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
Hmmm, that's interesting. Did the sound ALSO play through the speakers?
I found this app, indicator-sound-switcher, that might very well lead to being able to create what you're looking for. On the Issues tab, there a report about new sounds playing to the old port, so I'm thinking this might lead to the right solution.
I've got to head to bed in a few minutes, but I'll try to spend some time on it tomorrow.
Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
Well, I'm afraid this is still over my head. That switcher script I linked to above has THOUSANDS of lines of code to make a simple little switcher.
It might be possible to get sox or paplay to do something, but it'll probably be the weekend before I can get a good idea on the feasibility of using those to accomplish what you want.
You might want to consider using a visual notification instead.

notify-send -t 0 "Timer expired" "Your time is up!"
in the command field would work. The -t 0 will make the notification stay on the screen until you click on it.Re: Command to play sound through speakers when headphones on ?
