Posted: Sun Sep 14, 2014 12:19 pm Post subject: Pulseaudio: simultaneous output to both front and back |
|
|
Hello!
I have a Xonar DX soundcard. The audio is configured in simple, stereo mode.
For now, I can only switch between front and back panel output using alsamixer as user I mute or unmute FrontPanel section.
It would be nice to be able to hear the same sound from both sources - speakers and headphones - for skype conversations, but I am unable to configure pulseaudio to do that. Using paprefs I enabled simultaneous output but no change.
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know how well these instructions are, but doing a quick search; this site may be some help for you. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples.
In short, what you need to do; is first set either your speakers or headphones as the default sink (sinks in pulseaudio is outputs, sources are what generated the sound). After that, you have it load up the second sink. Then; have it combine that with the default (specifing a name).
According to the documentation I can find, after doing this, pulse audio should list a new sound card (output) for the combined outputs. If you want the combined output, you should be able to set skype to the the new combined sound card, while the rest of the system is using the regular default. Otherwise you can have pulse set the combined as the default for the entire system. |

Well, that's the problem I have only one sink available. And that source it's for speakers. Outside pulseaudio, using alsamixer, if I unmute Front panel that sink it's redirected to speakers. So no second sink to play with _________________ Sorry for my English. I'm still learning this language. |

Well, I solved the problem in hardware. I'm using a jack splitter _________________ Sorry for my English. I'm still learning this language. |
