Another related bug is available on related bug in Arch: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49157 Interesting is suggestion about possible HDMI vs sound conflicts: Comment by [redacted] - Monday, 08 August 2016, 14:28 GMT When I changed video drivers, the problem seemed to morph into a different problem. When I use nouveau/intel with bumblebee, it seems that plugging headphones in constantly works like it should. Headphones show up as headphones and the computer seems to recognize both. BUT... there is no sound from the headphones, even after a restart. I am starting to believe that this is an issue with either the nvidia driver, or bumblebee/optimus. I think I had read in the past that the sound is conflicting with the HDMI port or something like that. I reverted back to nvidia due to compatibility issues with nouveau (or I'm just not reading all the necessary documentation) and this original problem came back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575078 Title: [XPS 15 9550, Realtek ALC3266] Headphone jack stops working after a while To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1575078/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
