Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Professional 3D - Switch between Headphones and Speakers

Ancrion · 22 August 2020 17:05

Hello,

Im new to Manjaro and would like to set up my sound card. I got the Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Professional 3D. This one got a link for speakers and an extra link for headphones. In Windows i had a software where i could change between speakers and headphones. Looks like this:

How can I switch between headphones and speakers in Manjaro like this? The sound settings tell me that headphones are disconnected, so I cant switch to them.

Greetings

Welcome to Manjaro!

Under Linux, this is a feature of the hardware or firmware.

If your hardware supports automatic speaker mute when plugging in your headphones, it’ll just work.
If the hardware doesn’t support it, the (UEFI) firmware has to support it and it’ll just work
If neither do support this, we’ll have to do some hacking so please provide more hardware info:

inxi --full --system --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --admin

would be a good start!

Hello,

thank you for your reply! I dont know if my hardware supports this. I got my speakers and headphones connected parallel. I just want to switch between them like i did in windows.
I got a legacy installation.

Here is my hardware info:

If its from interest: I got a Y-Cable conntected to the soundcard (one plug from my headphones goes to a microphone and to a headphones plug). Looks like this:

that looks good, so from a driver POV you’re OK:

So what do you see then when you plug in the microphone into the SoundBlaster?

this is what I get when plugging in my headphones:

Hello,

thank you for your reply! I had to switch from Manjaro KDE to Manjaro Gnome because i had some issues with my nvidia card.

Now i got no sound, neither on headphones nor on speakers. Yesterday it worked, after I plugged speakers out and in. But that doesnt work now.

Headphones appear in settings when i connected then over front port, but also no sound.

Here is my new hardware info:

I’m on KDE and haven’t used Gnome like… ~~ever…~~ a very long time ago…

Sorry!

Ancrion · 24 August 2020 10:07

No problem, Gnome works fine for me so far but i got no sound

@nikgnomic As you seem to be working on a similar issue here, could you have a look here too?

@Ancrion

Could you provide the output to aplay --list-devices and please enclose the output in 3 backticks ``` at the start and end so the output looks like this:

[@ fabby - I was on a coffee break pondering this discussion so far
now on 2nd cup in case of possible strangeness from Creative device ]

Pulseaudio should handle switching between headphones and speakers
but Pulseaudio will not switch to an output that is detected as ‘unplugged’ or ‘not available’
If an audio device is not correctly detecting headphones being plugged in, it would usually require a change in ALSA configuration of hardware device to get Pulseaudio to work as intended

please post response to

amixer --card=1

hoping to see a control for Auto Mute-Mode on this audio device

this card is using standard snd_hda_intel and not a specific Creative driver, so the tools for onboard HDA hardware should work

suggest installing alsa-tools package (assuming it is not already installed)
and check if headphone jack is correctly detected

sudo hdajacksensetest --card=1

Ancrion · 24 August 2020 14:23

Thank you!

I have removed and installed the soundcard and now i get sound again.

I got the headphones working over front, but the microphone doesnt work. Maybe the microphone front connection of my PC is dead? The problem is, that it doesnt detect headphones when i connect them directly to the soundcard. Maybe because of the missing Creative driver?

hdajacksensetest: No pins found for card 1 codec 0, did you pick the right one?

amixer --card=1 response confirms this is the Creative card
(as far as I know only Creative has a control called `What U Hear’, i think they have a trademark for this)

the controls for jack-detection in amixer are not like other HDA audio devices
so I am not too surprised that hdajacksensetest does not work

HP/Speaker Auto Detect is [on] so headphones should work for audio playback
but controls for audio capture are turned off

suggest you go to

alsamixer --card=1 --view All

use arrow keys →← to locate these two controls

AMic1/DMic
AMic1/DMic Auto Detect

and either ↓ or ↑ or Spacebar to turn both controls ON
to capture audio

also suggest turn OFF these audio effects until audio capture and playback is working
(may need to use M key to mute and unmute playback controls)

Crystalizer
Dialog Plus
Equalizer
Noise Reduction
PlayEnhancement
Smart Volume
Voice Focus
X-Bass

and save any changes made to ALSA controls so they are restored when booting system

sudo alsactl store

Ancrion · 25 August 2020 16:17

Thank you very much.

Even if i conntected headphones at my soundcard and autodetect is on, it says, they were not connected. At the Front just headphones are working. Enabling AMic1/Dmic, AMic1/DMic Auto Detect and disabling the others didnt change anything.

Greetings

Ancrion · 26 August 2020 20:19

My microphone is now working on my soundcard, but my headphones arent.

It says my headphones are not connected., but they are. They are not detected.
