http://ubuntuforums.org – This is a rather annoying problem. For some reason, when I plug my headphones into the jack on my laptop, the audio STILL comes out of my main speakers as well as the headphones. I tried out another pair of headphones just to make sure it wasn't them that was the problem, but the problem still persisted. I just want to listen to music through my headphones...:| I tried going through all of the sound settings and reading through the Ubuntu help files, but couldn't find anything on the subject. My audio card is an Intel High-Definition Audio Input/Output card. I tried l (Hardware)

Hello!

I have two audio sets connected permanently to my computer: Stereo speakers in the normal (light green) output jack and my headphones in the front jack.

Problem is: My front jack is dying from having survived too many incidents, most of which implied unintentionally pulling the headphones wire while it's still connected.

I would like to plug the headphones on any of the 5 plugs ha

I don't know if you already posted a solution for this issue, but after done some searching i couldn't find anything. When i plug my headphones into the combo jack (i don't know if it's the actual name, but this is how i call it cause it's one hole for mic/headphones), the sound secuentially changes between headphones and the laptop speakers.

Hello, I am new to Fedora and a noob at Linux in general. Everything seems to work great so far on Linux except my audio jacks.

I am running Fedora 18 on a Dell Studio XPS 1647. There are two headphone jacks and a microphone jack which in Windows can be configured to be front, back and center speakers.

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.

I need to use Jack audio to prevent clicks but I'm having problems getting jack to play though my usb wireless g930 headphones.

I'm using puredata and I can get my usb wireless g930 headphones to work with the Alsa setting but Jack will only play through the speakers. Does anyone know how I can get jack to play through my headphones?

Thanks

PS I'm using ubuntu 12.04 64bit

Basically whenever i plug in headphones in 12.04 the sound plays through both speakers and headphones. Since release I have tried and failed to solve this issue many times.

Hi,

I'm running a F17 KDE X64 machine. And I've noticed this issue over the last few kernel updates. I'm not sure that it's the kernel that's the problem, though.

Basically, if I plug in my headphones and watch a video/listen to music, everything is okay.

Hello,

I am a total Ubuntu newbie, running 12.04 exclusively.

There is no headphones audio in the front port of my desktop. Interestingly, when I unplug my speakers from the back and plug my headphones in, audio works fine.

I'm not sure what logs or other diagnostic information is necessary, but I could use some help.

Thanks!

HelloI keep having a problem with Crunchbag. When i plug in my headphones in to the laptop I get sound from both speakers and headphones. been googling around for past two days but couldn't find a fix which would work for me. So i decided to just reinstall my audio drivers. I went ahead and removed alsa. Still had sound. I then removed pulse.
