I have a K50IJ as well. Speakers work fine, but when I plug the headphones in, sounds gets muted, when I bring the volume back up, it plays on both the speakers and headphones.
Had the same problem no matter what distro I tried. But Here is what is interesting, I tried a live USB of Google Chrome OS, I do not have this problem at all!!! I know nothing of programming, and am really a newbie at linux, but it would seem to me, that someone who does know about it, could simply review the settings on Chrome OS and replicate that onto Ubuntu, but I could be wrong, someone please let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/565685 Title: [Asus K50IJ] Lucid Lynx - No automute (Headphone jack does not disable speakers on laptop) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
