Public bug reported:
I'm on an HP Pavilion dv9000 (https://www.cnet.com/products/hp-pavilion-
dv9000/specs/) built many years ago.
Whenever I'm using any distro that's based on Ubuntu which was published from
Version 19.04 onwards, I've been having a major issue with the mute button
toggling on and off whenever I have something plugged into the audio out jack.
I know that it's not the fault of XFCE, because I also use the latest version
of Manjaro with XFCE on this same computer, and it works fine. I also know it's
not any Red Hat-based distro, because I use Stella (which is a remix of CentOS
6) also on this exact same computer, and it also works fine. Qubes, Mageia, and
Fedora 31 also work perfectly fine and don't have this issue.
My "lsb-release" is:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=19.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=eoan
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 19.10"
and "apt-cache policy alsa-utils" outputs:

I've uploaded a short video of the problem that I recorded with my phone here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXaHXQA-5uQ
The problem appears with Kali 2019 and 2020, Peppermint 19.04, Lubuntu 19.04,
Xubuntu 19.04, and Sparky 5.10 and 2020.02.
I've checked pretty much everything I can think of. There's a log for my ALSA
help diagnostics results on my current computer (which works properly with
18.04) at:
