Bug#998368: pulseaudio: Pulseaudio disabling auto-mute mode
Gert van de Kraats
Package: pulseaudio
Version: 15.0+dfsg1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
Recently I installed new updates, including pulseaudio:
2021-10-19 23:32:51 upgrade pulseaudio:i386 14.2-2 15.0+dfsg1-2
2021-10-19 23:47:37 status installed pulseaudio:i386 15.0+dfsg1-2
After these update(s) the internal speaker of the laptop is not
going
automatically to mute,
if the headphone is plugged in.
If I enable auto-mute, the internal speaker is going to mute, as
wished.
As soon as I remove the headphone-plug,
auto-mute is immediately disabled at alsamixer.
If I plug-in the headphone again, the internal speaker is not
going to mute, as
wished.
File /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/speaker.conf contains
the next
extra lines,
if I compare with version 14.2.2 :
; Make sure the internal speakers are not auto-muted once the
system has
speakers
[Element Auto-Mute Mode]
enumeration = select
[Option Auto-Mute Mode:Disabled]
name = analog-output-speaker
If I comment out these lines, auto-mute is not disabled anymore by
pulseaudio,
and Auto-Mute works as designed.
Probably this "fix" is coming from
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/433/diffs?commit_id=19e34d8d5bb9380ed70607b3f661c26df6d4836c
.
It is a strange "fix" . because it completely destroys the
functionality of
Auto-Mute.
I reported about almost the same problem at Bullseye Testing at
February 2021
with
bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=981572
.
My laptop is a simple DELL D620, without any additional
audiocard.
If the internal speakers can not become mute independent of the
headphone
it cannot be used anymore at video-conference and at a shared
office.
