[Bug 1380046] [NEW] [AV200 - Xonar STX, playback] Loud pop when switching to headphones
Public bug reported:
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.
