It is 2017 and this old and high-priority bug is yet to be fixed even on the latest LTS version.

[Bug 1239605] Re: Combo audio jack support ("what did you plug in?"-dialog)
While plug in an audio device and the dialog prompt, there are one additional option 'Headphones' appearing in Output settings and two options 'Headset Microphone', 'Microphone' in Input settings. The selected options will be changed after plugged in device is clicked. Headphones clicked Output --> Headphones Input --> Internal Microphone Headset clicked Output --> Headphones Input --> Headset Microphone Microphone clicked Output --> Speakers Input --> Microphone The rest options are still selectable but not functional. It would be less confused to remove extra options. For example, when a microphone is plugged in and clicked, there are only 'internal speakers' in output settings and 'internal microphone', 'external microphone' in output settings. Extra headphone and headset microphone should be removed from output/input settings.

Understood. I've updated the wireframe to remove the speakers.

And I'm surprised that a jack could tell the difference between those, but not between headphones and a microphone! But sure, leaving out speakers is fine. Sorry, let me clarify. The jack cannot tell the difference between headphones and speakers. I'm just saying that they should not be treated the same, because headphones and externally powered speakers should have different output levels, impedance etc, for optimal quality. So, in theory we should have one button for headphones and one button for speakers, but because we currently do not support the line out mode at driver level (which is the optimal one for externally powered devices), I think it's better to leave speakers completely for now. -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. https://launchpad.net/~diwic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239605 Title: Combo audio jack support (what did you plug in?-dialog) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1239605/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1239605] Re: Combo audio jack support (what did you plug in?-dialog)
Thanks for the design update. I have a few questions/comments: 1) About headphones/speakers - I'd prefer if we left speakers out of it for now. The reason is that external powered speakers would assume a line level output, where as a headphone would require the headphone amplifier (integrated into the codec) to be activated instead. Putting external speakers on a headphone output works, but the sound quality is not optimal. There is a use case where we would want to switch between headphones and speaker output to get the best sound quality, but I don't want to add support for that now. Ok to change headphones/speakers to headphones? 2) The dialog as designed includes some icons. Should we try to use the icons supplied by the current theme (audio-input-microphone, audio- headset, audio-headphones), or should I request somebody draw them for me? 3) I'm not sure exactly where you want me to add the When an unknown audio device is plugged in line. I can't find any place in the current design where we have a Show sound volume in the menu bar either, btw. 4) The drawing shows a text unknown devices in future. Should this be in the future (missing a the)?

A notification bubble would be unpleasant for this situation, because it invites an input response but doesn't allow it, as recommended against in our own notification design guidelines. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDesignGuidelines The combination of dialog-and-checkbox (for example, Are you sure... confirmation alerts) is usually bad, because it attempts to tackle situations where everybody needs the dialog occasionally with a dialog that appears always for some people and never for others. And it's seldom clear where (or if it's even possible) to change your mind about the checkbox later. In this case, though, I think a dialog-and-checkbox combo would be reasonable. In this case, people really do differ widely in their use: some will use headphones almost all the time, some a microphone almost all the time, some a headset almost all the time, and a few a constant variety of devices. And in this case, there is an obvious home for reversing the checkbox -- the Sound panel of System Settings. I'm now working on the design of the dialog. We can make it much quicker to use than the attached screenshot from Windows by using a large button for each device type (one easy click), rather than a checkbox then an OK button (two fiddly clicks). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239605 Title: Combo audio jack support (what did you plug in?-dialog) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1239605/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1239605] Re: Combo audio jack support (what did you plug in?-dialog)
Note: If the OSD (notify or not) should show an icon depending on the current mode (as suggested in the screenshot), the following icon strings will be used: audio-input-microphone (working in 12.04 - in humanity theme) audio-headset (working in 12.04 - coming from gnome theme) audio-headphones (NOT working in 12.04 - working in 13.10 - coming from gnome theme) Should we SRU gnome's audio-headphones icon back to 12.04? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239605 Title: Combo audio jack support (what did you plug in?-dialog) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1239605/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
