I just bought a Pavilion dv6z-7000 with Beats Audio speakers (AMD A10, 8GB RAM, 7730M GPU) and it is doing the same thing under Ubuntu 12.04. When I connect the headphones (using the 'ref' option) the subwoofer does not turn off (it keeps playing bass frequencies even after the main speakers and high-frequency speakers shut off).
My current solution is to not use the Beats Audio system (omitting all extra options means that only the two normal speakers are functional, but the headphones can be used properly, and I use the headphones much more in Ubuntu). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923250 Title: subwoofer and headphone won't play nicely on dv7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/923250/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
