Audio output switch between speaker and headphones will not work until manual change in preferences[1215T, Realtek ALC269VB, Green Headphone Out, Right]

[Shadlese]

When plugging in headphones, audio plays simultaneously on computer speakers and headphones. I can switch levels in alsamixer to mute speaker output. If I'm in sound preferences, I can switch connector (e.g. from analog speaker to headphones and back again) which actually rectifies the problem until logout or reboot. I have attempted installing alsa-driver modules to no effect.

Thanks for your bug report. With the symptoms you list, I am fairly sure that this bug is a duplicate of bug #741825.

Thanks again.
