[Bug 1404576] [NEW] sound output undesirably and unexpectedly switches between headphone and analog output

 

Public bug reported:

When I first used my speakers on this new Ubuntu computer, the sound
worked fine. At some point the sound started clipping with only a
fraction of a second of sound every second or so. When I look at the
system settings for sound I find that the machine is automatically
"detecting" headphones and switching the output automatically to
headphones, back and forth, from analog out.
