I guess when problem happens, the alsa driver gets a fake plugging in event.

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: GNOME 3.36.3 | Ubuntu 20.04.1 It has been a month and I have been experiencing this weird behavior. Earphone option like this 3 while unlocking the laptop as if I have inserted earphones. Some details this issue: I have to wait like 10 min or so after the lock of the screen. This will trigger something and when I open the lid or touch mouse pad to unlock, I get earphone options to chooose in the screen as if I have inserted headphone jack. Something is wrong. I want to know why. This didn't used to happen a month ago. I waited a month to report this issue thinking it will get resolved in upcoming updates but sadly no changes so far. I think some Ubuntu's GNOME update might have something to do this. This is my wild guess. But very certain about it. Let me know. Although the issue might seems really small issue but very annoying to go throw this EVERYDAY. I would love to know what is causing this? When its fixed? Is there something wrong on my side? Note: This happens ONLY when I try to unlock the screen after like >10 min or so.
