** Description changed: - Many desktops have headphone on the front and line outs on the back. - Sometimes this means that the alsa kcontrol for the headphone jack is - labelled "Front Headphone Jack", but the volume controls are only - "Headphone Playback Volume", i e, without the "Front" prefix. + [SRU Justification] + Impact: Some hardware have no automatic jack detection for headphone to userspace, so when you plug headphones in, your media keys and indicator will still control the speaker's volume. This affects several machines currently being enabled by the HWE team. + + Testcase: Have an affected machine, i e one that has a "Front Headphone + Jack" kcontrol (as seen by "amixer contents"), open gnome sound + settings, and plug headphones in. If the bug is fixed, the headphone + port will now be visible and selected. + + Regression potential: If there is a "Front Headphone Jack", but for some + reason this is non-functional due to a kernel driver or hardware + problem, there is a chance that the headphone port, which was manually + selectable, now is always invisible. + + + Many desktops have headphone on the front and line outs on the back. Sometimes this means that the alsa kcontrol for the headphone jack is labelled "Front Headphone Jack", but the volume controls are only "Headphone Playback Volume", i e, without the "Front" prefix.

It would enable jack detection between speakers and headphones for these devices.
