Bug Description
Expected: Headphones recieve audio & system speakers are muted when headphones are plugged in
What Happened: Headphones recieve no audio & system speakers are muted when headphones are plugged in
Ubuntu Release: Ubuntu 12.04LTS x86_64
Hardware: Asus G73sw with Realtek chip using Intel HDA codec
NOTE: A fix does exist. You need to edit the following file:
/usr/share/
and change the following line:
[Element Speaker]
switch = off
volume = off
to:
[Element Speaker]
switch = mute
volume = zero
This is because my hardware, using the alsa intel HDA driver, uses the speaker channel as part of the headphone path (A similar fix is in the configuration file already for systems that use "front" as part of the headphone path).
