Bug Description
The port is continually switching between Speakers and Heaphones and no audio is outputting from the speakers. I have tried various distributions and have found that this problems is NOT present in Ubuntu 11.04, 12.04, 13.04. I have not tried 11.10, or 12.10. But have found 13.10 and 14.04 to show this identical problem.
My main concern is for the 14.04 LTS version I am currently using.
- I tried regulating the audio from alsamixer -by disabling auto-mute in alsamixer i managed to stop it switching from one port to the other. Still, no audio from speakers (only a regular and low-volume BUMP comes out)
- I tried modifying the /etc/modprobe.
- Also tried the position_fix quirking suggested on the ubuntu documentation pages
The audio outputted from the speakers kept being a regular BUMP and nothing more, regardless of the input.
