Ok, I have a workaround that works for me: sudo vi /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output- headphones.conf
Now, change the Element Speaker section to this: [Element Speaker] switch = on volume = ignore now, run alsamixer, and ensure that the AutoMute option is enabled. What this does is it changes the sound profile pulse audio switches to when headphones are inserted to a profile that *does not* turn down the speaker slider volume. The AutoMute option ensures that the external speakers stop playing (if it were disabled, the headphones would work, but the external speakers would keep playing). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978880 Title: [Dell System Vostro 3750, Realtek ALC269VB, Green Headphone Out, Left] volume slider problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/978880/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
