two different outputs one is speaker one is your headphone jack this gives you the power for exemple to play different audio in your speaker and headphones at the same time using qpwgraph for exemple

I want to for exemple even when my headphones are plugged have the ablility to play audio through my speakers using qpwgraph and stuff like that its just a cool little thing I wanted to do also you can’t do that in pavucontrol natively when you plug in headphones its as if your speaker doesn’t exist you can’t for example play the same audio on your headphones and speakers at the same time or play different audio its relatively niche kinda thing but its handy for the few times I needed it to be honest

update so after realising I have ACPI: button: The lid device is not compliant to SW_LID. in my logs I found a couple of bug reports in the kernel https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192231 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202421

so I guess this can be as well a kernel issue

so I made a bug report in the arch linux bug reporter: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2119116

so yeah I guess and I hope someone understand the problem fix it with udev or the linux kernel directly or at least give me the steps to do so anyway yeah that’s all

and I guess if this plan didn’t work I have to learn C to fix the issue

there is one problem with those links they are forcing a whole device to be another device and I just want the key with scan code d7 to be state 0 of SW_LID and d8 to be state 1

and fixing this issue in the udev level will automatically fix everything like I will finally be able to use logind.conf

yeah read that bug report and to be honest I don’t understand the developer standpoint like sorry at least give where can I find the documentation for udev rules

• even if I use libinput these are the id_input available: ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD, ID_INPUT_KEY, ID_INPUT_MOUSE, ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD, ID_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN, ID_INPUT_TABLET, ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK, ID_INPUT_ACCELEROMETER

and there is no lid one so yeah I don’t know is this problem unfixable with udev rules alone + I made this whole thread just to not make that bug report one of the other 1.9k other open ones except the fact that I wanna improve my experience with linux

+_+

well as far as I understand adding “AttrLidSwitchReliability=unreliable” will not actually fix the issue and I hope this issue is fixable to be honest

so I made a follow up post: https://lemmy.ml/post/4441946 and a bug report: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/28942 if you are interested in helping

basically I guess this bug report will explain everything: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/28942 and I made this post as a followup: https://lemmy.ml/post/4441946

• basically in my laptop I have 3 problems pressing fn+f2/3 (supposedly brightness keys) it gives the same scan code and I am lost on how to give one of them up and the other down brightness second problem fn+f12 (basically the airport mode aka stop wifi) it doesn’t even give a scancode in the first place third problem and the biggest is explained in that bug report and if you have any idea how to deal with this help I guess

and how did I set up the different sinks to headphone and speakers basically just used hdajackretask to make it so idep_hp = yes and then rebooted my laptop and yeah that was basically it and I am in the process of writing a script to change between the two sinks on the fly

thanks a lot that will certainly help

so this is the output for the fn+f2/3 “[32752.594169] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e02b ’ to make it known. [32752.599005] atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xab on isa0060/serio0).”

and the output for the closing lid “[32780.534749] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e058 ’ to make it known. [32780.538013] atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xd8 on isa0060/serio0).”

my question is isn’t closing the lid is already assigned to “button/wlan WLAN 00000080 00000000 K” (output from acpi_listen)

• so what should I do now
• this part is actually unclear

“You can find the appropriate evdev:* information by running sudo udevadm test /dev/input/eventX where eventX is the evdev fd for the device in question. evtest will show you the names.”

basically how to actually do something like this MSC_KEY_d7=lid MSC_KEY_ab=brightness_thingies

• yeah thanks

thanks for the idea it actually got me to find something so I am going to use “acpi_listen” I guess its a deamon for acpi the funny thing is closing the lid counts as “button/wlan WLAN 00000080 00000000 K” so I am positive linux or the kernel thinks that closing the lid is pressing the wiki toggle button (that’s the current behaviour btw) so I guess the next step is to just find out how can I make the kernel think that closing the lid is actually closing the lid lol

anyway thanks for the help stranger
