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

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
