Bug#813423: pulseaudio: Pulseaudio mutes when connecting headphones

[Jean-Philippe MENGUAL]

Source: pulseaudio
Version: 7.1-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I'm using pulseaudio and I'm blind. I use MATE.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

1. Open a session
2. Set a volume
3. Plug in headphones or any jack hardware
4. If you still have sounds, plug-in/out several times (3 times about).

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The sound becomes mute or at minimum. It's critical for someone loosing
speech sxnth
and other sounds.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The sound should stay stable, same level as it was before.
