Hi, thanks for your quick responses. I should be able to boot from an oneiric LiveUSB monday and test it out. Meanwhile I can try the new ALSA drivers.
Since it is an intermittent problem, the only way I can think of testing it would be to use it normally for a week or so and see if I notice the problem happening or not. I may just continue to use the ALSA drivers if they keep working and report back in a month or so if there are no problems. I'll get back to you about Oneiric much sooner. Slightly unrelated note: I decided not to upgrade past Maverick because 11.04 ran much hotter and decreased my battery life significantly, and on 11.10, my touchpad sidescroll isn't detected properly (ALPS pointing device, bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/747092). Both problems which make my laptop more or less unusable, so I've stuck with maverick :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/888415 Title: Speakers do not mute when headphone jack is in use.
