I am getting similar behaviour on 17.10. If I unplug my line out and plug it in again it works fine. In Windows 10 this unplug and replug is not required (the jack is fine).
Running: $ amixer -c0 contents so I can compare the non working state with the working state, the following differences exist: Non Working: numid=43,iface=CARD,name='Line Out Front Jack' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1 : values=off numid=35,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Switch' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1 : values=on Working: numid=43,iface=CARD,name='Line Out Front Jack' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1 : values=on numid=35,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Switch' ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1 : values=off -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628153 Title: [W65_67SF, VIA VT1802, Speaker, Internal] No sound at all on most restarts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1628153/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
