I have an Acer TravelMate P648-MG laptop. I had troubles getting sound to work until I found pavucontrol
. There, in the Configuration tab, I can set the configuration to Analog Stereo Duplex. Then I have a single output device called "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" with three ports: Speakers (that is the laptop's internal speakers), Line out and "Headphones (unplugged)" (yes, the "unplugged" part is there). When I set the port to "Headphones (unplugged)" then the sound goes where it should - to the plugged speakers/headphones.
However, every time I restart (or just restart pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k
) this setting is lost. I usually end up with Speakers set as the port for the output device. How can I store this setting permanently?
It's Ubuntu Gnome 16.10. Feel free to ask for additional data (logs, hardware configuration, etc.).
