Connect / disconnect headphone jack switch not working

[Zack Evans]

As with bug #829843 switching audio output from internal speakers to headphones / line-out does not work automatically. When I insert the jack, sound continues from internal speakers.

Changing the output using Phonon controls in kconfig works fine.

Possible clue: If I boot with the jack in the socket sound is sent through the external output correctly.

Changing the mixer volume does not help.

Once I have manually changed Phonon to send output through the jack, volume control does work, so this isn't the same as bug #817943.

Hmm, reading bug #857206 I only seem to have one slider, which controls either the internal speakers or the jack depending on where I have told Phonon to send the sound. Is this related? Do I have TWO bugs here? Should I have two sliders?

This bug does not look like a duplicate of bug #897427, but rather of bug #911331 and of bug #817943.

It looks like bug #817943 is the culprit.
