Hi, I've just confirmed this bug on a Macbook 2,1. I think a good compromise would be the optical functionality exposed as a "device" in the volume settings, so users could manually switch to optical output if they chose. This sounds like it would also be useful for various other non-Macbook machines. Does anyone know what would be involved in doing this, and if it's possible?
I thought there was something wrong with my Macbook's headphone port because the light is stuck on, and I've been digging around with a toothpick in the port all day (this is standard procedure for this happening in OSX, the TOSLINK sensor in the port often gets bent and stuck.) It'd be good to address this so people don't think something's wrong, especially because the analogue headphone port doesn't currently work after install without unmuting a device in alsamixer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/590465 Title: Jack sensing for mini-TOSLINK optical connector isn't automated on MacBook Pro 4,1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/590465/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
