debian-user@lists.debian.org, I tried report-bug, but it said if I don't know the name of the package to email this email address for assistance, if I don't know the name of package with this bug Headphones* must be plugged in after boot-up before any sound is produced from built-in speakers on notebook. I have a Dell Latitude D830 notebook, using Debian 8, and KDE for desktop environment. When I boot up I don't get any sound from the laptops speakers until I plug in and out my headphones. I've tried playing with the volume/mute settings before the plugging in of headphone, but changing the volume, mute/unmute doesn't have any effects until the headphones get plugged in. Then it works normally. If it boots up without any headphones* plugged in sound should play from the laptop's built in speakers unless headphones are plugged in. Thanks in advance for any assistance in reporting this bug,
I ~think~ it might be related to the autoswitching/sensing feature of the jack when it tries mightily to determine if you have an amplified device or non-amplified one. I'd have to unplug and plug in my amplified sound speakers for it to set itself. It used to be that you would have two jacks, one for a cheap speaker with just a wire with a plug, that would use the amplifier of the sound card. Then one for amplified speakers (line-out) for a base signal to be sent to the amplifier of a set of speakers where the amp built in. I know, it's dodgy at best when one jack is made to suit both cases. Mine seems to have settled down and it works all the time. But, I have a desktop where I use the same setup all the time.
