This is still happening on Edgy. There are numerous forum reports of the issue.
Particularly notable is this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=196197 Daniel Chen suggests to reload the snd_intel8x0 module with the parameter "ac97_quirk=hp_only". This worked for the original poster, but does not for me. Worst thing is that I remember finding this and squashing it before Dapper was released, but I can't remember what I did. ** Changed in: Ubuntu Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- Master volume does not work when headphones are connected. https://launchpad.net/bugs/26150 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
