> use hint jack-detect=0 Why would I want to disable my jack rear panel? If you're talking about the green jack audio at the back, I can't, I'm using it. My computer is plugged into an amplifier which is then connected to my speakers. Even if it's not what you're talking about, it would still just be a patch that you need to do manually. We're not interested, we'd like to have a permanent fix instead that is applied automatically.
> you have to check the front audio panel connector > connect an AC97 front audio panel to motherboard with HDA controller is not > recommended Like I said before (which I also just retested), the problem still exist when there's nothing plugged in my front audio panel connector. That is not the problem. On my motherboard, there's is a port called "F_AUDIO" and I have a cable where I can plug HD AUDIO or AC'97 in it. However, even if I do not plug this cable, I still have the problem. I will also repeat that I do not have this problem in Windows (I have a dual-boot configuration). As a new information, I unplugged my HDMI cable that goes to my TV in case it had anything to do with it since HDMI also carries sound. So I only had my green audio jack at the back plugged into my amplifier and the problem was still present. If anyone has any idea as to what I can test next so that we can pinpoint where does this problem comes from, I'm all hear! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1067434 Title: Sound output device keeps changing when using headphones Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Recently upgraded to 12.10. Having issues with sound when using headphones plugged into the front ports. Something that doesn't happen when booting to windows - so fairly confident it's an Ubuntu issue. When listening to any sound, music, video etc the sound levels jump up and down and click. If I open "sound" from the settings menu when playing videos or music and viewing the "output" tab I can see "headphone - built-in audio disappear and reappear (very quickly) so I'm guessing the system is jumping back to the "analogue output" and back again which is why the sound volume changes and clicks. Worth noting I never used my headphones when 12.04 was installed so not sure if it's this OS or Ubuntu hates my hardware generally. Booted from live cd (usb) to 12.04 and there wasnt any issue. Anyone seen this before? any advice? Sound is built in to motherboard. I have the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5.
