You have been subscribed to a public bug: This problem is inherited from Ubuntu 12.04, it wasn't present in 11.10 and seems to be fixed in the beta for 12.10, though I can't find any triaged versions of the bug to explain the fix.
It appears to be an issue with ALSA and Realtek sound cards where ALSA doesn't automute the speakers when something is plugged into the headphone jack, instead sound comes out of both. If the headphones are plugged in and then the computer is suspended, coming out of the suspension will make the speakers mute and sound only come out of the headphones, though once you remove the headphones, sound does not resume coming out of the speakers. So it's either a failure to detect the change or a failure to do anything about the change. If this problem is in ALSA, it might be wise to backport the version of ALSA from 12.10 into Luna, or users, myself included, will have to suffer from this. ** Affects: elementaryos Importance: Undecided Status: Won't Fix ** Affects: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- Speakers don't automute when headphones plugged in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1047600 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
