Good news, problem is "solved"! I just installed the latest Linux Mint
17.1 Rebecca, Mate, 64 bit and there is no issue with the sound after a
fresh install!

I don't know what has changed and I cannot reproduce this bug anymore
(unless I install an old version of Linux Mint).

Title:
  Sound output device keeps changing when using headphones

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Recently upgraded to 12.10. Having issues with sound when using
  headphones plugged into the front ports. Something that doesn't happen
  when booting to windows - so fairly confident it's an Ubuntu issue.

  When listening to any sound, music, video etc the sound levels jump up
  and down and click. If I open "sound" from the settings menu when
  playing videos or music and viewing the "output" tab I can see
  "headphone - built-in audio disappear and reappear (very quickly) so
  I'm guessing the system is jumping back to the "analogue output" and
  back again which is why the sound volume changes and clicks.

  Worth noting I never used my headphones when 12.04 was installed so
  not sure if it's this OS or Ubuntu hates my hardware generally. Booted
  from live cd (usb) to 12.04 and there wasnt any issue.

  Anyone seen this before? any advice?

  Sound is built in to motherboard. I have the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5.
