If someone reaches this page again with this problem, try this: Install alsamixer if you don't have it installed. Open a terminal and execute the command below: alsamixer -c0 this will run the alsamixer, use the left/right arrows and find "loopback" option(Usually it's on the right side). When you find it make sure it's disabled, if it's enabled, press the "down" arrow to change it to disabled. When you did this, press ctrl+c to exit alsamixer. Check and see if the problem is gone or it's still there. It should be solved.

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.
