Public bug reported: I'm on an HP Pavilion dv9000 (https://www.cnet.com/products/hp-pavilion- dv9000/specs/) built many years ago.
Whenever I'm using any distro that's based on Ubuntu which was published from Version 19.04 onwards, I've been having a major issue with the mute button toggling on and off whenever I have something plugged into the audio out jack. I know that it's not the fault of XFCE, because I also use the latest version of Manjaro with XFCE on this same computer, and it works fine. I also know it's not any Red Hat-based distro, because I use Stella (which is a remix of CentOS 6) also on this exact same computer, and it also works fine. Qubes, Mageia, and Fedora 31 also work perfectly fine and don't have this issue. My "lsb-release" is: DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=19.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=eoan DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 19.10" and "apt-cache policy alsa-utils" outputs: alsa-utils: Installed: 1.1.9-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.1.9-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.1.9-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I've uploaded a short video of the problem that I recorded with my phone here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXaHXQA-5uQ The problem appears with Kali 2019 and 2020, Peppermint 19.04, Lubuntu 19.04, Xubuntu 19.04, and Sparky 5.10 and 2020.02. I've checked pretty much everything I can think of. There's a log for my ALSA help diagnostics results on my current computer (which works properly with 18.04) at: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=4859b85cd7fc32e7f01f8df63591b5a43dbf6829 the result output of lspci is: [code]00:00.0 RAM memory: NVIDIA Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:00.1 RAM memory: NVIDIA Corporation C51 Memory Controller 0 (rev a2) 00:00.2 RAM memory: NVIDIA Corporation C51 Memory Controller 1 (rev a2) 00:00.3 RAM memory: NVIDIA Corporation C51 Memory Controller 5 (rev a2) 00:00.4 RAM memory: NVIDIA Corporation C51 Memory Controller 4 (rev a2) 00:00.5 RAM memory: NVIDIA Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:00.6 RAM memory: NVIDIA Corporation C51 Memory Controller 3 (rev a2) 00:00.7 RAM memory: NVIDIA Corporation C51 Memory Controller 2 (rev a2) 00:02.0 PCI bridge: NVIDIA Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:03.0 PCI bridge: NVIDIA Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:04.0 PCI bridge: NVIDIA Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:09.0 RAM memory: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:0a.0 ISA bridge: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 LPC Bridge (rev a3) 00:0a.1 SMBus: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 SMBus (rev a3) 00:0a.3 Co-processor: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 PMU (rev a3) 00:0b.0 USB controller: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 USB Controller (rev a3) 00:0b.1 USB controller: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 USB Controller (rev a3) 00:0d.0 IDE interface: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 IDE (rev f1) 00:0e.0 IDE interface: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA Controller (rev f1) 00:0f.0 IDE interface: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA Controller (rev f1) 00:10.0 PCI bridge: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 PCI Bridge (rev a2) 00:10.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) 00:14.0 Bridge: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a3) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
