also at least 3 of the same problem on AskUbuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1775337 Title: 18.04 Headphones detected, but not switched on automatically after startup Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Been this way since at least 15. Plug in your headphones, boot up your laptop. No sound. Speakers and headphones are disabled. Super annoying, you have to unplug and re- plug, and go through the stupid dialogue of "what are you trying to plug in?" which has no memory, and no defaults. Please, please, please, fix this Ubuntu team!
