I have the same issue on a DELL XPS 15 L502X. When I plug external speakers or headphones, there's no sound. Modifying the Alsa config results in problems so the present workaround for me is this one:
- Just right after I plug the external speakers, I hit (Mute then Unmute) : This enables sound back. Actually Alsa config should be modified in a manner that right after the external speakers jack is plugged a mute+unmute function is executed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897427 Title: [Advent 4211, Realtek ALC1200, Green Headphone Out, Rear] Playback problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/897427/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
