Public bug reported: Hello,
I've got an ASUS motherboard with back and front audio connectors. Ubuntu recognizes the headphones when I plug them into the front connectors while my speakers are still connected to the back connectors. But after I plug the headphones in, I cannot switch back to the speakers. Whatever I do in the system settings or in the Pulseaudio volume control, despite the fact the right device is selected the audio goes always to the headphones. When I switch the device I see that both tools can see the change. But it just doesn't redirect the audio. My use case: I want to use headphones while speaking in a messenger and would like to keep them plugged in all the time. But I'd like to use the speakers for other audio. I tried the recent pulseaudio from ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/pulse-testing but still same result. Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit here on kernel 3.13.0-37-generic. pulseaudio: Installed: 1:5.0-0ubuntu1~trusty1 Thanks. ** Affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: audio pulseaudio settings ** Tags added: audio pulseaudio settings -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1375027 Title: Pulseaudio settings won't switch the IO device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1375027/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
