re disabled auto mute, the problem was detected while auto mute was enabled. I only disabled it while experimenting with alsamixer, and did not change it back because it did not affect my user experience at all. Perhaps it is relevant to know that I keep a set of old self powered computer speakers permanently connected to the rear line output jack, and control whether they make noise or not by altering the levels on the speakers - so afaik the computer has no awareness of whether they are making noise or not, they will just always appear connected.
Would it be useful if I test again and/or regenerate files with auto mute enabled? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518289 Title: front headphone jack recognised by alsa but ignored by pulseaudio To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1518289/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
