[Bug 1404731] Re: [ Dell OptiPlex 7020, Realtek ALC3220, Green Line Out, Rear] Background noise

 

My workaround to go into pavucontrol and set the Built-in Audio Analogue
Stereo to "Headphones (unplugged)" does work, but sometimes I need to
switch it into this mode multiple times (via "Speakers") in order to get
the proper bass working. The same issue happens when using the command
line via "pacmd set-sink-port 1 analog-output-headphones"

So, there's something weird happening here when trying to set the mode
too, but it does work after a few tries. This is on 14.04 at least.

Title:
  [ Dell OptiPlex 7020, Realtek ALC3220, Green Line Out, Rear]
  Background noise

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Any time I start Ubuntu, just a  sec before it starts I begin to hear background noise from speakers. And the noise isn't gone until I 
  shutdown the system.

  By the way, when I start listening to any music, I can't get any bass
  (although, I have a speaker system with sub woofer, and it worked fine
  for me on the previous computer).

  A lot of workaround didn't help.
