Headphone jack does not mute speakers after upgrade to 9.10 Karmic

[melikamp]

Upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 Karmic the other day. After the upgrade the following bug emerged (was working correctly in 9.04):

Inserting the headphone jack does not mute the speakers, but the sound can be heard normally through the speakers as well as the headphones.

Same here. Haven't found any solution yet.

Hi Guys,
I'm pretty new to Ubuntu (just started 2 weeks ago), but i am very impressed.... especially considering the cost (nothing)! Unfortunately there are a few bugs, but this fixed it for my HP/compaq nc6220 laptop. I have Ubuntu 9.10.

1) Open a terminal window
2) Type alsamixer
3) Arrow over and highlight Headphon
4) Press m key to toggle the headphone jack sense

For more info on alsamixer, see this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsamixer

I spent about 3 hours digging around, trying a bunch of things, and learning some new terminal commands before figuring this out.
Hope that helps!

Hi guys,

I made a script that makes sure it's fixed all the time. It's posted a couple of days ago here:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...+karmic+detect

Doesn't seem to be the same problem that I'm having. Actually it seems like it's not properly detecting my heaphone jack at all. I don't have a headphone detect option in alsa-mixer and the headphone volume slider doesn't go above 0. I do get audio out of the headphones though, it's just playing out of my speakers at the same time. I suspect I need to change something in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. No time to look into it now, but hopefully I'll post a solution in the next day or so in case someone else has my issue.
