Requesting information how to decouple front/rear audio outputs (A1220P)
Hello everyone, and thank you very much for Bazzite!
All the hype around this OS made me very curious, so I decided to install it and try it out. First time using Universal Blue, so these are exciting times. Itâs probably a bit too restricted for a daily driver, but Iâm enjoying it so far, it is Linux, after all. ð
Please accept my apologies for creating a new ticket. I did see the other posts related to this topic (one from 2024 and one from this summer), but one has no replies, and the other isnât truly solvedâthe user simply found a workaround by using their monitorâs audio jack.
Here is the problem: when my front combo jack is plugged in, the rear audio (line out) becomes muted. I havenât dug deeply into this yet; I thought it was worth asking here first in case there is an easy solution Iâm missing. My audio chip is an ALC1220P, and every other OS Iâve tried handles the sinks correctly (Ubuntu, Arch, Windows, etc.). On those systems, I can easily switch between them in the audio mixer. This issue only happens on Bazzite.
I tried disabling Auto-Mute in ALSA Mixer, but then both outputs become active, and in a very strange way:
Thank you very much in advance.
P.S.: Itâs not a huge issue, but the digital display on my CPU cooler doesnât work under Bazzite. Is there a TRCC alternative in the store? I couldnât find anything.

I tried disabling Auto-Mute in ALSA Mixer, but then both outputs become active, and in a very strange way:
- If I set the output to headphones, the line-out becomes almost twice as loud, as if both signals were being added together.
- If I set it to line-out, the volume returns to normal, but audio still plays through both the speakers and the headphones.
Thank you very much in advance.
