Hi,
I have the following problem:
- Play a video
- By default, I have sound with my PC’ speakers
- When I plug my headphones, the sound is correctly redirected
- When I unplug my headphones, the sound doesn’t switch back to speakers
This does not happen if I start the video after I have unplugged my headphones. In particular, every time I unplug my headphones I have to close and open again the application in order to hear the sound (this happen on every app I tested, such as: VLC, Chrome, Firefox).
It seems that headphones are correctly detected.
Environment : KDE Plasma
pulseaudio version: 15.0
These some standards commands (headphones unplugged):
