I’m using Manjaro KDE and would like to know if it is possible to redirect output through the built-in speakers and not the headphone output. On my laptop, I have a single headphone output and want to use an external microphone rather than the one built-in but use the speakers from my laptop if that is possible. Please let me know how to do this.
Thanks,

I had a similar problem on a widows 10 laptop with a noisy fan so I wanted to use an external mic for zoom. I brought one but could not get the audio to the internal speakers. I went back to the shop and explained what i was trying to do, they said it was not possible but I got my money back!
Sorry its not very helpful to you,
You will need to turn off the Auto-mute setting in ALSA
using alsamixer in terminal
F6 to find correct audio device
→ to locate ‘Auto-Mute Mode’
↓ to change to ‘Disabled’
You may also want to change audio settings for headphones and speaker controls
(use M to mute headphone output )
Esc to exit
and use this command to save changes to ALSA settings
sudo alsactl store
Yea that does the trick thanks
