linux-headphones v4.1 Release Notes

This version adds a smarter way to detect whether to use line-out or speaker ports as a secondary audio output for exiting headphones:

  • If line-out is plugged in, it’ll use that as the secondary output.
  • If line-out isn’t connected but speaker is available, it falls back to the speaker.
  • If neither is found, the script will throw an error and won’t run — no silent fails here.

Tested and working well on GNOME and KDE, with both PulseAudio and PipeWire.

Packages

  • DEB package:
    Grab the linux-headphones.deb if you’re on Ubuntu, Debian, or any distro with PulseAudio/PipeWire. It’s fully tested and should “just work.”

  • RPM package:
    For Fedora, Red Hat, and RPM-based distros — heads up: this one is untested.
    After installing, you must run enable-headphones-jackedin.sh in the terminal to finish the setup.

Manual Setup (For the brave)

If you want to DIY or the packages don’t fit your setup:

  • Set up a systemd user service, init.d script, or something similar to run headphones-jackedin.sh on boot.
  • Or just run the script manually whenever you need it.

If something’s off...

Try running ./headphones-jackedin.sh manually from the terminal to see if it’s a packaging issue or script incompatibility.

Make sure your system actually supports PulseAudio or PipeWire properly—no voodoo magic here.
