I forgot to tell you that I never see any dialog when I plug the earphone. It's a feature of some desktop environments, right? I have never seen it in Xfce.
The capture source changes to "headphone" every time I plug the earphone, and when that happens, there is no sound output. Changing it to any other source makes the sound work. I don't remember how it worked in previous versions of Ubuntu. It just worked. I never had to worry about switching the capture source in order to have sound. If you think that's important to know, I can try a live ISO of 18.04 and report back what I find. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875249 Title: [Inspiron 11-3162, Realtek ALC3234, Black Headphone Out, Front] No sound output from earphones To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1875249/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
