Public bug reported:
OS: Linux Mint 18.2
Audacity version: 2.2.2 from ubuntuhandbook repo
Alsa log:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=46cdccac7c37f25f2acd6c567ae56cd58aba2f0b
I just installed Audacity to make a quick edit on a MP3 file. I
installed 2.1.2 from the default Linux Mint 18 repo, opened Audacity and
selected my file. It played over my headphones just fine. I closed
Audacity, then immediately opened it again to select a different file to
edit. As Audacity opened I heard an audible 'click' over my headphones.
I could no longer hear anything over my headphones whether in Audacity
or via browser/youtube or other media player.
I discovered an AskUbuntu question with the same problem. An answer
there said that we just needed to open Audacity and select Internal
Mic:0. Tried that, and presto had audio over my headphones again.
Another answer on the same AU question recommended upgrading from 2.1.2
to the current (then) version of 2.2.0 to get around the bug in the
future. So, I uninstalled 2.1.2, and installed 2.2.2 from the
ubuntuhandbook repo.
Opened Audacity 2.2.2, only to discover that I now have no headphone
volume again, and this time changing the output to Internal Mic:0 did
not work. In fact, I cannot get headphone output on any of the 10 output
options. Nothing plays over headphones now, not youtube/browser, not
files in VLC.
All of this occurred in less than 5 minutes, and I am left without an
ability to use my laptop's headphone jack.
