Description Kristoffer Grundström 2015-07-06 15:22:30 UTC

I'm using Mageia 5 (the fork of Mandriva).

Kernel I'm using is 4.1.0-desktop-1.mga5 which I built using their own src.rpm and the reason that I built a newer kernel than the official one is that I've had this issue before using my kernel.

I'm using KDE4.

Not using any Testing or Backports-medias.

Pulseaudio-version is 5.0.0-6 according to pulseaudio -v

If I start to play any audio in VLC or directly from any browser & if I connect my headphones to the audio jack in my Toshiba Satellite L755-1DR (PSK2YE) that works fine, but the first time that I unplug the headphones from the jack I get no sound from the laptop speakers.

I then rightclick the volume icon and choose Sound settings.

Now, if I check the tab called Hardware settings I see that the Sound card field seems to be correct (GF108 High Definition Audio Controller), but Profile is set to Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output and to my knowledge I don't have any HDMI connected to my laptop so it seems odd for me that Pulseaudio wants to switch to that.

If I change the Sound card field to Built-in Audio and change the Plug-field in Device settings to Speakers I get sound from the laptop speakers again.

I made a bugreport to the Mageia bugzilla about this as well. This issue has existed from the first day that Mageia was brought to life AFAICR.

Comment 2 Kristoffer Grundström 2015-07-06 15:28:37 UTC

As I'm no expert in debugging is there a script that can somehow help me reproduce this issue and put all info in a output file?

Like this:

After logging in to KDE4 the script checks the current settings when playing music which does work and then tells me to connect the headphones to the jack and see that it works as well to finally see what happens when I unplug the headphones from the jack.

Sidenote, I use kmix as well.

Pussibly a duplicate of bug 93259 or bug 84334, hard to tell without any logs
