[Bug 1521987] Re: Sound is not automatically switched back from headphones to speakers

 

It doesn't change at all. The sound settings say that the output is
"Headphones" even when they are unplugged.

Yes you are right that my speakers are connected to the gray jack on the
backplane. They have always been connected that way and failover between
speakers and headphones has worked in previous versions of Ubuntu. Now I
changed so that the speakers are on the green jack instead and failover
now works correctly. So thanks for that tip. But since plugging them
into the gray jack has worked before I still think there is a bug here.

Title:
  Sound is not automatically switched back from headphones to speakers

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When plugging in headphones, sound output is correctly switched from
  speakers (line out) to the headphones. When the headphones are
  unplugged, sound is NOT automatically switched back to the speakers.

  This bug started happening on my system after I upgraded from 14.04 to
  15.10 so it is a regression. Attached is pulseaudio log of what
  happens when I plug and unplug my headphones.
