separating audio output in ubuntu 18.04












0















Can I separate audio output in two device? Devices that I want to output are laptop speaker and headphone.



There was no results in googling. And in setting, there was no button for generate for separating.



My laptop is MSI62 2QF. I frequently change hearing position so I want to change setting.

    I don't know your hardware, but I'd try using pavucontrol (Pulse Audio volume control) to see if you can select output. I've had great success on some machines with this, less on others & assumed it was hardware that controlled what functions I could/couldn't do (I didn't care enough to explore further)

The first is possible with pavucontrol (PulseAudio Volume Control): you should be able to output each different playback source to a separate device, like for example VLC to headset and Qmmp to internal speakers.



enter image description here



Depending on your desktop the same options may be present in the default audio volume settings (e.g. in Plasma:Audio Volume Settings > Audio Volume > (tab)Applications).



enter image description here





If the second second case: I was not able to set,although I have installed paprefs and set it as indicated here (selecting the “Simultaneous output”). A new output option should become available but I don't see it in my setting.
