hello, Im using laptop thats pinned to dock station. when I connect external speakers/headphones to the dock station, audio continues to play through both the attached device and the internal laptop speaker.
i figured out that either ‘speaker’ or ‘line out’ option in ‘auto-mute’ of alsamixer can fix it, however this option keeps changing to ‘disabled’ anytime I plug in a device, which I do frequently. I tried using ‘sudo alsactl’ to save the alsamixer settings, but it keeps changing to ‘disabled’ on plugging.
any ideas?
my config
