however, please note that this separation of audio out and headphones is great for some laptop music based work.

SoundSource added the headphone autoswitch feature in response to this article (and I even assisted them in the integration of the code). Maybe you missed the update at the bottom of the article that mentions this?

SoundSource is free, and it does automatic switching between headphones and line out.

I’m not sure why it says it is manual above, unless earlier versions didn’t support the automatic switching.

Anyway, I use it, and it works great.

Check the update I just posted above. Rogue Amoeba has integrated this into SoundSource so you may want to try that out and see if it fixes any of the problems you guys are seeing. Sorry about the late reply but I couldn’t really say anything about it until it got released.

If you are still seeing problems with it, let me know. Also, make sure to try it with other apps besides VLC.

Mr. Noodle - I am running a Mac Pro 2.66, with os x 10.4.10.

When playing back a file with VLC:

Speaker Output - Line Out, Volume Control via KB works fine.
Plug in headphones on front jack, output via line out is still playing, but now volume control adjust the heaphones, and no sound output to the headphones from the file currently being plaed by VLC. I hear command tones from the headphones, when I adjust voulme level.

RamÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â³n: I’ll look into it though I’m a bit busy at the moment. Also, have you tried it without SoundSource installed?

Tony: Does it also behave this way when you switch manually in System Preferences? I haven’t seen the behavior of output going to two different places.

Hi,

First, just want to thanks for the app.

Unfortunately, it does not work for me. It swtiches the output to the heaphoned jack when one is plugged in, but it also plays on the lineout jack.

Hi,

For me it does not work

It does switch to headphones, but it does not switch back to the previous source (I have SoundSource installed, do they conflict?). Sometimes it switches to the internal speaker instead of the line out (which is where I have my speakers connected to).

So could you write a modification to the software that just switches back an forth between “headphones” and “line out”, reagardless of the previous choice?

Thanks bunches
