Raymond, I'm sorry, I don't understand your question, or how to find the answer, or where your control.33 or Ports: comes from.
Both "Headphones" and "Speakers" choices are always available. I'm running Gnome 3. The path to the visual control was given in the initial post. It always reverts to Headphones on boot. I get no sound from the laptop speakers. I change it to "Speakers" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085552 Title: sound output connector reverts to headphones on boot Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On each boot, System Settings->Sound->(Output Tab)->Connector comes up as Headphones. Sound does not work until changed to Speakers. Setting holds through suspend but not a reboot. On each cold boot, setting reverts to Headphones. I expect a setting of Speakers to hold through a reboot, so my system will have working sound on boot-up. $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS" Upgraded from 11.10. $ apt-cache policy gnome-settings-daemon gnome-settings-daemon: Installed: 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.5 Candidate: 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.5 Version table: *** 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.4.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1085552/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
