After a couple recent updates, No Headphone Output.

https://bbs.archlinux.org – Ok, I installed pavucontrol, and switched my output to speakers.  It would seem that when it is set to headphones (auto-volume switching), it is attempting to send audio to a non-existent channel on the sound card.  I believe the switching of audio is all done through the card, which is why it breaks when it is done through software (it works through headphones when speakers are set as output).  Would there be a way to change the output for "Headphones" to the speaker channel, so that automatic volume saving for headphone output and speaker output still work, without b (HowTos)

It kicked in after upgrade to ubuntu 11.10

when I connect headphones, output channel (observed through control panel sound section) switches to headphones and volume level in headphones is extremely low

set output channel back to speakers.

Speakers not working on XPS 17 32 weeks 6 days ago

My laptop has an HDMI output, two stereo headphone jacks, and internal speakers. Unfortunately, the internal speakers do not work, except at the login screen when my computer boots.

I am using Xubuntu 12.10 fully updated on an HP 200-5220a. I have a Hi-Fi system plugged into the headphones output. This has worked without any problems for nearly two years until the last 2 or 3 days. Then the sound output stopped. I think I may have reset something somewhere!

I can correct the problem by going into the Menu > Multimedia > PulseAudio Volume Control.

On my system, the sound works perfectly fine on the speakers in my laptop. When i plug in headphones, the sound comes out of the headphones AND speakers. It doesn't seem to recognize whether the headphones are plugged in or not. It actually doesn't seem to recognize that there are any headphone inputs at all.

I have a Samsung laptop with Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit installed and cannot seem to get the audio card to work properly; internal speakers work just fine but when I plug in my headphones the speakers don't get muted.

Hi, I have a problem with my sound output connector.

Whenever I log in, the default sound output connector is "HDMI" (when I look in the Sound Settings under Output) and my computer's HDMI port is not connected to anything. When I try to play any sounds the speakers on my laptop emit no sound.

I have a sabertooth 990fx motherboard, which comes with the ALC 892 audio solution from Realtek. The system works great, but for some reason Ubuntu/Pulseaudio switches between Headphones and Analog Output like crazy, causing a pop. This happens about every fifth second. Is there a way to stop Ubuntu from constantly switching between Analog Output and Headphones?

I have enabled "simultaneous output" in PulseAudio Preferences, I run pasystray(pavucontrol for volume), and want to use both HDMI-output as well as internal output in different application at the same time, but sound configuration (both pavucontrol and phonon) only lets me activate 1 device at a time (by selecting card profiles).
