** Description changed: My earphones are the one coming with Samsung Galaxy S8 (here: https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mobile-accessories/phones/samsung- earphones-tuned-by-akg--gray-eo-ig955bsegus) and on my Ubuntu 18.04 - (dual-boot with Windows 10, Secure Boot enabled) I have two issues with - them (possibly should report a new bug for the second one?) + (dual-boot with Windows 10, Secure Boot enabled) - 1) Trying to set the volume from my earphones' controls doesn't work, no + Trying to set the volume from my earphones' controls doesn't work, no modification on the volume, the sound bar on Ubuntu doesn't appear in order to indicate volume change. I would like to change the master volume, or whatever my common laptop controls do when I up/down the volume controls on my earphones, like it happens on Windows 10. Why does the erroneous behavior of being unable to set volume from my earphones happen? - - 2) Every time I boot or reboot my system and leave the earphones on, - without unplugging them, i.e. when Ubuntu boots with the headphone plug - already occupied, I don't get any sound from my headphones, no matter - how much up and down I turn the volume (from my laptop sound controls), - i.e. the sound bar moves up and down and I hear no sound. I have to - unplug and re-plug my earphones and only then does Ubuntu recognize them - and ask me to select "Headset/Headset with mic/Mic". How can I fix it, - so that I don't have to replug every time I boot?
