Audio output to input

Question

The audio output port on my laptop just broke and I can no longer use it for my headphones. Does anyone know of a way I can route the sound output through the input instead?

Answer 1

You can try HDA-analyzer

The HDA analyzer tool provides a graphical interface to access the raw HD-audio control, based on pyGTK2 binding. The program gives you an easy-to-use GUI stuff for showing the widget information and adjusting the amp values, as well as the proc-compatible output.

This tool can parse also proc files (/proc/asound/card#/codec*) and output from alsa-info.sh script and monitor mode

Open this command on terminal:

1. Get the basic run.py script:

   wget -O run.py http://www.alsa-project.org/hda-analyzer.py
   

2. Quick run:

   python run.py
   

3. Quick help:

   python run.py --help
   

4. Quick alsa-info.sh file analyzer:

   python run.py /tmp/alsa-info.txt
   

5. Quick monitor mode:

   python run.py --monitor
