GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 694680
Speaker+headset icon when no headset is plugged in
Last modified: 2013-02-26 15:24:06 UTC
I have two laptops running Rawhide, GNOME 3.7.90. On one of them, the volume icon in the top bar represents a speaker, and if I plug in a headset, the icon shows both a speaker and a headset. This seems to me to be the expected behaviour (noone was really sure when I asked on IRC). On the other laptop, the icon **always** includes both the speaker and the headset, even when I don't have a headset plugged in. I guess one of these two behaviour is a bug, and I'd say it's the second one. I have no idea what information to submit to help fix the bug, just ask and I'll run the necessary commands and debugging on the appropriate laptop.
Yes, the first behavior is the right one: the headset icons indicates if PulseAudio is currently playing through the headset or through the speakers. To debug this, I would need to see the output of "pacmd list-sinks", with and without headphones plugged in. Thanks!

Created attachment 237448 [details] Output of "pacmd list-sinks" with a headset plugged in One thing I didn't mention is that there are two slots for headsets on this laptop. Not sure whether that makes a difference or not.
Uhm... PulseAudio believes that you have the headphones plugged all the time (you can see "active-port: <analog-output-headphones>", and the list of ports includes only the headphones). This is either a PulseAudio bug or a driver bug, please report it at bugs.freedesktop.org and they'll know.
