alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf issue #807 was opened from SSolarite: ## Hardware & System * Machine: VICTUS BY HP 16.1 INCH GAMING LAPTOP PC 16-E0000 (2V8Z8AV) * Audio Chip: Realtek ALC245 * Distro: Arch Linux * Sound Server: PipeWire/WirePlumber ### Description The UCM2 configuration does not expose an option to change to the built-in laptop speakers while a headset is plugged in, specifically, it splits both Speakers and Headphones into two profiles: <img width="404" height="148" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e23fafc1-dccb-4c2c-af02-d3ea3c2923df" /> It only shows up once the headset is unplugged: Headset in: <img width="454" height="444" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fe636fe5-6e35-4bb1-bca0-97dc58f9714e" /> No headset: <img width="460" height="450" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/da2b7b6f-c145-465a-a1d1-699e02359d2f" /> I have also tried the Pro Audio profile. It shows these two, but none of them work. Record test <img width="453" height="444" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5061600b-39a2-4149-8815-101bc21cd141" /> `sound-test` plays through both the headset and speakers. The speakers can be toggled using `amixer -c2 sset Speaker [on/off]` ### Expected Behavior Both the built-in speakers and headset should be selectable options without flip-flopping. ### alsa-info.txt [alsa-info.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/29711854/alsa-info.txt) If this happens to be a configuration issue on my end, please give me steps to fix it.
