[AV200 - Xonar ST, playback] No Switch between speaker and headphones

[Pavel Fischer]

I can't switch the audio output from "speaker" to "headphone" in the Pulse Audio Volume Control utility (or simply "Sound Settings" -> "Audio Output"). Nothing happens if i select something in the combobox. But I can change the output with alsamixer from the console, but if i do this, the Pulse volum control don't see the output changes. It still show the output "Speaker", but don't "Headphones"

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Christian Lanig (christian-lanig)]

Also affects ASUS Xonar STX. It worked perfectly in Natty

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

do you mean that you need to change this control ? or there is no jack sense at Front Panel Headphone jacks

Simple mixer control 'Analog Output',0
  Capabilities: enum
  Items: 'Speakers' 'Headphones' 'FP Headphones'
  Item0: 'Speakers'

[Pavel Fischer (rubbiroid)]

No, I mean, that if I change the output (e.g. From Speaker to Headphones) - it will be not changed. The sound still comes out of speakers.
It worked in Maverik and Natty.
Here is screenshots. I mean this "switcher"

[Pavel Fischer (rubbiroid)]

in alsamixer this switcher works perfectly, but not in sound applet
