I found a more viable workaround based on comment #18 by Anthony that still lets you use your headphone jack provided you have an unused front microphone jack.
Install alsa-tools-gui Run hdajackretask Override "Green Headphone, Front side" to "Not connected" Override "Pink Mic, Front side" to "Headphone" Click "Apply now" Click "Install boot override" to make this permanent >From now on, just plug your headphones in the front microphone jack instead of >the front headphone jack and you're golden. Speakers still get automatically >muted when you plug in your headphones. This is much more viable to me as I just use a USB microphone anyway. I tested this for a few days and this bug never reappeared. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585084 Title: Volume notification keeps popping up constantly(the notifyosd bubble on top-right corner) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1585084/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
