I just re-installed a clean Xubuntu 12.04 LTS and can confirm that both "Speakers" and "Headphones" outputs work out of the box. It isn't able to automatically switch between Speakers and Headphones, but switching manually from Xubuntu's Volume Control app works.
Apparently something has gone wrong between 12.04 and 13.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208972 Title: [HDA-Intel - HDA Intel, playback] Headphones work, Speakers don't To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1208972/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
