This also happens to me. I had 9.10 and initially had the problem but an update fixed this problem. I'm not sure what update it was.
I now upgraded to 10.04 and the problem is back. I have to use a script I found to mute the speakers manually every time I plug my headphones in. Installing gnome-alsamixer does not work for me as I don't have a 'headphone jack sense' option with my sound card. Script to turn off speakers is below. #/bin/bash if [ $(~/bin/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x1f GET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x0 | grep 0x0 | wc -l) = 1 ];then ~/bin/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x1f SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x40; echo 'unmuted'; else ~/bin/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x1f SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x0; echo "Speakers muted"; fi -- Compaq nx6110 needs an alsactl init entry to unmute Headphone Jack Sense https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
