Looks like there is some a race issue involving unity-control-center (and maybe caused by pulseaudio too). I suspect that gnome-control- center is affected by the problem too but its just harder to reproduce. I'm stating this because even with the provided hardware, enabling the debug logs in pulseaudio, the problem is hard to reproduce. I'm going to tweet a little bit the proposed patch and SRU it.
The sound panel needs some love I guess. E.g. why is g-c-c deciding which port the system should use after the user unplugs the headset? In my opinion this should be PA's job. g-c-c should react to changes notified by PA and "update PA status" just if there is an user interaction with the GUI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716359 Title: Unplugging headset with audio panel open mutes internal mic Status in OEM Priority Project: Confirmed Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This bug was reported by our OEM team, I'm opening this public bug.
