Title:
  [AV200 - Xonar STX, playback] Loud pop when switching to headphones

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When switching the port to either headphone ports from the speaker
  port there is a loud pop in the headphones. When I am playing music
  through the speakers at 100% volume and then switch, I can hear the
  music at a very loud volume through the headphones for a fraction of a
  second before dropping to the proper headphones volume which is much
  lower. Even if I mute the output before switching ports there is still
  a pop although not nearly as loud.

  I believe this is a driver issue (oxygen/virtuoso). The Essense STX
  uses a relay to switch between the speaker and headphones ports. I am
  guessing the the power for the speaker (line out) port is much higher
  than that used for the headphones port and the drivers need to mute
  the sound at a hardware level before switching to elmininate the pop.
  On Windows when switching to and from speaker and headphones port the
  output would be muted for almost a second as the port was switched so
  there was no pop. On Ubuntu there is no delay when switching ports. I
  have looked at the driver source code and there is an anti_pop_delay
  of 800 milliseconds used on the Xonar init method. I think this same
  delay should probably be added when switching to the headphone ports.
