Did you find a workaround? Hi, I followed the steps in the dv6 bug report: ----- Open /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-speaker.conf Change: [Element Front] switch = mute volume = merge override-map.1 = all-front override-map.2 = front-left,front-right To: [Element Front] switch = ignore volume = ignore ...and reboot to try the new settings. ----- This means that: 1/ pulseaudio no longer overrides my audio settings whenever the computer reboots or when pulseaudio resets; 2/ I need to explicitly use alsamixer to adjust the speaker and headphone volume correctly. This works for me as I have it configured for headphones all the time (speaker volume at 0 and the headphone volume turned up) as I only listen through headphones anyway. According to the discussions on the bug, this is an issue with the ALSA/kernel driver mis-detecting the jacks. HTH, - Reece
