Audio defaulting to speakers instead of headphones

#1 Post by highContrast »

Hi all

Since updating from Jessie to Stretch I have some issue with the audio.
Usually I have the headphones plugged, but often when I start the PC the output device is set to the speakers even if the headphones are plugged, so every time I have to open the settings and set the output device manually.
If I unplug the headphones the output device is automatically changed to the speakers, but if I plug the headphones back the output device does not change, again I have to set it manually.
Another issue is that if I keep the headphones unplugged after some time an event pushes the volume to the maximum level, so if I have a notification a loud tone annoys all the people around.

My desktop is KDE and the version is Stretch x86_64 up to date.
Here's the contents of /etc/pulse/client.conf:

Code: Select all

; default-sink =
; default-source =
; default-server =
; default-dbus-server =

; autospawn = yes
; daemon-binary = /usr/bin/pulseaudio
; extra-arguments = --log-target=syslog

; cookie-file =

; enable-shm = yes
; shm-size-bytes = 0 # setting this 0 will use the system-default, usually 64 MiB

; auto-connect-localhost = no
; auto-connect-display = no

Here's the output of pacmd list-cards:

Code: Select all

1 card(s) available.
