Speakers vs. Headphones - how to get them to work correctly?

[dagmann]

After kubuntu 19.10 was installed my speakers worked fine, but not the headphones. When I unplug my headphones the speakers stop working.

Does kununtu handle both speakers and headphones? If so how, and where would the speakers and headphones selection be?

My Sennheiser headphones are plugged into my Creative Labs Z sound card. Does kubuntu handle sound cards?


I take it that everyone has their speakers and headphones working properly.

as I posted in the Kubuntu forums:

The secret weapons are:

in daemon.conf -------------------------------
avoid-resampling = false
enable-remixing = yes
remixing-use-all-sink-channels = yes
enable-lfe-remixing = yes
default-sample-rate = 48000
alternate-sample-rate = 48000
default-sample-channels = 6
default-channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe

And using AlsaMixer correctly!
