While I'm not sure how much effort will actually be put into resolving this bug, I sure hope someone high up in the chain of command will at least consider tackling this issue. This relates to front audio connections not being sensed/detected properly, which causes frustration for users of all levels of experience with K/Ubuntu.
I believe, and I'm sure other will agree, that this lack of basic functionality turns many new users away from K/Ubuntu; and Linux in general. The same can be said for those out there who have read through many tutorials promising a fix, only to end up where they began. A papercut to be sure!
I am not ignorant to the possibility that the issue may stem from closed sourced hardware drivers/specs. However, the fact of the matter is that the end user doesn't care about any of that. All they know is that their front audio panel that works in Windows suddenly doesn't.
Unfortunately, this issue is present in many audio cards, embedded or otherwise. Perhaps others can add to this by listing specific model numbers.
One I know in particular is: hda-intel
Again, thank you for your time, hard work and dedication!
Not to mention a big Thanks for creating the One Hundred Paper Cuts initiative. |

In short, if a headphone is plugged into the front jack, sound is still heard through the speakers connected in back.
