Using a Gigabyte z77x-ud5h motherboard, you can only hear sound when plugging a jack cable in rear, c/sub or side jack, but not if it's in the usual green "out" one. Having tried all the output profiles without success, I guess that's a bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug the jack cable into the "out" jack (the green one on that motherboard) 2. Play something in clementine for instance 3. No sound output 4. Plug the jack cable into the "rear", "c/sub" or "side" jack to get sound Actual Results: No sound heard when jack plugged in "out" Expected Results: Hear sound when jack plugged in "out"
This is still true in 4.9.4.
Still true in 4.9.5
Well, the phonon version didn't change AFAIK, so that is not a surprise.
Clementine is not KDE software and does not use phonon. And infringes Open Source licenses.
The problem still exists with other GPL apps like Amarok, Juk and Vlc (with phonon-backend-vlc).
Are you using PulseAudio?
Yes I am using pulseaudio. I'm currently testing the setup with Kubuntu 13.04.
Does for example "speaker-test" (in a konsole) work? Also adding our resident PulseAudio master, maybe he has some insights.
I can hear sound on my speakers from audio applications and `speaker-test`, but only when I plug the jack into the side, rear or c/sub plug. Additionally -- I don't know if it's related -- having installed a pci-e audio card (Creative X-fi titanium) few days ago, I found out that I can't hear sound in my headphone plugged in that audio card, AND having simultaneously the same output via the internal soundcard. The tried configuration is : - Internal audio (where the speaker are connected) profile : Duplex analog stereo sound device : playback connector: analog output - Tahiti XT HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 7970 Series] profile : off - EMU20k2 [X-Fi Titanium Series] (where the headphones are connected) profile : Analog stereo output Sound device : Playback Connector : Analog output / Analog headphones 1 ....in that configuration, the sound is only output via the speakers, not the headphones. To be able to hear sound in the headphones, I have to turn off the "Internal audio" device.

Sounds like it's a jack status bug in alsa and thus we're getting incorrect/incomplete information about how to wire things up. Could you provide several version of your "pacmd list-cards" output when the jack is completely unplugged and plugged into the green jack (which doesn't work) and plugged into the jacks that do work (only attach output from the separate jacks if the output is different tho' - no need for lots of comparisons). I'm guessing the green jack doesn't have the relevant pin configuration at the ASLA level to allow the relevant paths to be used. That said, you *should* in theory be able to pick a port manually that works... (this is more fine grained than the profile itself - but I cannot really suggest more until seeing the output). Ultimately it's probably a bug in ALSA (kernel side) or potentially PulseAudio (but that's less likely). So if you can, try a newer kernel too :)
Using `pacmd list-cards` with unplugged green/plugged green/plugged rear results in the very same output (see attachement). Reading your last comment Colin, I assume this output is supposed to change when plugging/unplugging jacks into the sound cards, weird. Ah and I'm using the stock kubuntu kernel, v3.8.0-22.
Created attachment 80177 [details] The pacmd output with or without plugged jacks
Comment on attachment 80177 [details] The pacmd output with or without plugged jacks Thanks for that. Assuming we're still just talking about the Internal Intel card, then yes, the "ports" listed under "index: 1" should have their availability information changed (available no -> available yes) when you plug jacks in. As you are using [k]ubuntu, I would recommend filing a bug in launchpad as Canonical employee David Henningsson does excellent work at addressing these kind of problems (far more so than me). I would however suggest that it should be possible to output sound by selecting the "analog-output-headphones" port on the sink in question (it should be called "Casques analogiques") If that doesn't work then there could be a more fundamental routing problem with that particular model that needs some additional quirks in the driver. Again, this is much more David's field than mine. HTHs
