Hi Nick,

On windows the expected way is when I plug in headphones into the headphone jack the audio is not going threw the internal speaker but is instead going threw the headphone jack.  In debian 12.6 all audio is going threw the internal speaker when headphones are connected and no audio is going threw the headphones.  How either using orca or speakup can I change this so that the system works like expected?  Nick Gawronski

I've seen this before. I have found that there is a control in the mixer for the device to obtain the desired behavior. Let me know if you can't find it.

Best,
