Public bug reported: As a follow-up from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1876056
I have a Dell XPS 7590 with a combined headset jack. As I understood from the previous ticket 1876056, when on Ubuntu you plug in something, it will prompt you what you plugged in: either a headset or headphones. Kubuntu doesn't do this. This means that it will never automatically switch to the headset microphone when I plug it in, even though I never ever use headphones on this laptop. So it would be great if Kubuntu would prompt me what I plugged in and allow me to either select every time or select the default option when I plug something in. For now I'm working around this by adding [Jack Headphone Mic] state.plugged = no state.unplugged = unknown [Jack Headset Mic] state.plugged = no state.unplugged = unknown to /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-input-internal-mic.conf but after each update of pulseaudio this file gets reverted. And it's not really user friendly. I'm really not sure against what package I should report this - please correct me if this should be more specific (e.g. phonon or kde multimedia). I wouldn't know which part this would be. ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887807 Title: KDE doesn't prompt whether headphones or a headset is plugged in Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: As a follow-up from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1876056 I have a Dell XPS 7590 with a combined headset jack.
