I was asked to come up with a hacky workaround, so here it is: Add a file /usr/bin/unmute-sink, and make sure it's executable, with this contents:
#!/bin/sh pactl set-sink-mute 0 0 (You might need to change the first 0 to 1, or use the sink name, if you have more than one sound card) Add a file /etc/guest-session/skel/.config/autostart/unmute-sink.desktop with this contents: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Exec=unmute-sink Name=Unmute sink Terminal=false OnlyShowIn=GNOME;LXDE;Unity; Type=Application StartupNotify=false NoDisplay=true -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1076947 Title: Headphone muted in new/guest account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1076947/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
