@jamie campbell I added my own bug report on this. Find out which of your alsa controls needs to be unmuted for your headphones to work with alsa mixer. Then edit the file /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output- headphones.conf
Change the line similar to [Element Speaker] switch = off volume = off to: [Element Speaker] switch = mute volume = zero Where Speaker is the channel your system needs unmuted for headphones to work. Mine had to have speaker unmuted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988098 Title: Headphone muted 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/988098/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
