This bug is affecting me as well, I have a USB pre-amp (which also works as audio card) and sounds emits just fine there. However, when I plug in my headphones directly into my laptop, only sometimes I get the gnome popup asking me what kind of device I plugged in.
When I click "headphones", sound of all applications is properly directed towards my headphones. However, the gnome-settings sound "test" button will still emit audio over my regular speakers. Selecting different audio cards does not resolve anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1866194 Title: External audio device shows up in the sound output options but the sound keeps being emitted from the internal laptop speaker, or none at all.
