Title:
[AV200 - Xonar STX, playback] Loud pop when switching to headphones
Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
When switching the port to either headphone ports from the speaker
port there is a loud pop in the headphones. When I am playing music
through the speakers at 100% volume and then switch, I can hear the
music at a very loud volume through the headphones for a fraction of a
second before dropping to the proper headphones volume which is much
lower. Even if I mute the output before switching ports there is still
a pop although not nearly as loud.
I believe this is a driver issue (oxygen/virtuoso). The Essense STX
uses a relay to switch between the speaker and headphones ports. I am
guessing the the power for the speaker (line out) port is much higher
than that used for the headphones port and the drivers need to mute
the sound at a hardware level before switching to elmininate the pop.
On Windows when switching to and from speaker and headphones port the
output would be muted for almost a second as the port was switched so
there was no pop. On Ubuntu there is no delay when switching ports. I
have looked at the driver source code and there is an anti_pop_delay
of 800 milliseconds used on the Xonar init method. I think this same
delay should probably be added when switching to the headphone ports.
