arkhenius My apologies, I did not see the previous posts, what motherboard and/or sound card do you have?
Emperor arkhenius Motherboard-B85-HD3-A Sound card-from what I can find it's Realtek High Definition audio. From there website it seems like the sound card(if codec is the same thing) is Realtek ALC892. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-B85-HD3-A-rev-10#sp
Emperor Well is the really no command I can run to try to solve this? I saw some commands for Ubuntu, but they are not working here...
Emperor Justin The same as yours-only IEC958 and nothing else-speakers are even not detected. P.S I have the same picture with explanation that this is the only thing I have as my first post here.
Justin Emperor P.S I have the same picture with explanation that this is the only thing I have as my first post here. Why did you create a second post and why without the same information?
CraigMatze I have the same board and if I pull out my mini-RCA jack I am left with the same as you show, so plug in a source for it to be detected, RCA/HDMI, optical.
Emperor CraigMatze Well of course I have RCA jack and I use it-plug and unplug still doesn't work. Here you see: https://youtu.be/YPm_j-9Pvog
CraigMatze Check your BIOS for audio enabled, front audio cable connection to mobo, rear output. I get your first screen shot, only when nothing is plugged in, other wise it is listed, HDMI . Line-out. Good luck
Emperor CraigMatze brent Well the only sound setting in the BIOS was to enable motherboard sound chip or whatever and it was on auto-I changed it to be always enabled but that didn't fixed the problem-also via W10 privacy program I have disabled all updates. I believe it is simply a problem that my speakers are not supported-but is that due to Solus or the kernel and can I do something about it?
brent I know this sounds weird but at two locations of my employer, over 3 times in different rooms, THIS week, all A/V functions regarding SOUND tanked. I blamed it on luck but I was wrong. W10 just did a big long re-install of itself (called "update") last few days. Two of my tech guy showed me in W10 SOund Settings how last update forced all machines to internal speaker and dumped the external. Typical reset garbage on their end and the reason people leave them.. ...but neither here nor there. Just had the strange feeling if a W10 update could change a concurrent Linux sound setting? Maybe Craig is right? At the bios level? Possible? Or am I grasping? Edit: written entirely on the assumption your dual-booting was successful
Emperor brent Well it was not successful, but I still have W10 and Solus xD Just there are two separate bootloaders in each HDD.
Emperor Justin If you mean the other post-it has over 100 comments and I had many different small problems, but I tough to abandon them in order to fix the only real issue-the sound.
brent OK--I have some antec speakers (thrift store pair with sub--very nice!) that are plugged into the music jack. My sound settings also say "line out-built in audio." My profile says : "analog steeo output." Why ours are different is I don't know. A jack is a jack and a speaker is a speaker--I don't know why you would think your speakers were unsupported. Did you try it from the back of your computer? I realize most computers have one! I wish I was smart enough to diagnose hardware because it sounds like it.
Emperor brent sangheeta CraigMatze Well here is a picture of my jack. As brent suggested I tried plugging this jack in the back of my computer-the bottom line of 3 places to put the jack worked-but they showed as input or microphone. The top 3 places simply didn't work-they showed nothing(and after the bottom 3 were all for input, then the top 3 must be for output so Solus seems to refuse to recognize any output). https://i.imgur.com/qSwC7ha.jpg
sangheeta Emperor What I don't understand is why it says: digital output and not analog output. A stereo mini jack audio output is analog. If it is a SPDIF digital output, an analog minijack will not work. It requires a minijack digital fiber optic but to be connected to a D/A converter or amplifier/speaker with digital in. Maybe there is a way to switch the audio output to analog, in the bios, audio card switch...?
CraigMatze sangheeta yes I am sure the digital output is showing the SPDIF out because nothing else is plugged in. I get the same output, if I pull - line out and HDMI
sangheeta Emperor And when you look into the jack plug on your computer, do you see a red light? If there is one, it's digital.
Emperor sangheeta Well I have no freaking idea what this audio and digital cables...there is a fucking 3.5mm jack and I expect it to work-there is no red light on my PC case so there is definitely no light whatsoever 😁 My speakers aren't cheap nor very expensive-from one of them there is power cable and the other one is 3.5mm jack-it's built-in, non removable. In W10 it just works-after reinstall or update I have to go into sound settings and just enable front jack detection or something like that. In Linux generally there are so many software option but I haven't seen many options for hardware except terminal... These are my speakers: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/473443-REG/Creative_Labs_51MF0336AA000_Inspire_T3100_2_1_Channel.html
