Still seeing this on Ubuntu 13.10. The 2 steps mentioned in #13 do solve the problem. However, as a result the speakers don't mute when a headphone is plugged into front jack.
I can confirm that plugging in headphones prevents the jack state from flapping. Also, when the state is flapping, the plugged in/out follow each other with <0.5 second delay. The jack never settles on plugged in when it is flapping. Could this bug be fixed by waiting ~0.5 second, before accepting a newly plugged in jack? While waiting, if we get a jack plugged out, then cancel the pending operation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1203235 Title: [H87N-WIFI, Realtek ALC892, Green Line Out, Rear] Underruns, dropouts or crackling sound To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1203235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
