In Ubuntu 8.04,there’s a check-box called “Headphone Jack Sense” in Sound Preferences to mute speakers when plug in earphones.But this option disappeared on Ubuntu 10.04′s sound preferences window.
If your laptop have the problem that sound still comes out from speakers after headphones plugged in,you can try following methods.
Method 1. Open a terminal window and run this command:
alsamixer
you should see following screen,use right and left arrow key to navigate to Headphone and press M to set default MM to 00.
Method 2.Go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager,search “gnome-alsamixer”(without quotes) and install this.
Then run gnome-alsamixer by this command in terminal
gnome-alsamixer
and check “Headphone Jack Sense”

I have this problem but when I do either of these options I only get three columns, headphones are not an option.
Looks like this: http://imgur.com/dPCpt.png
I have Ubuntu 10.04, alsa 1.0.22, and notebook ASUS K52J.
I’ve tried most of the solutions I could google, but none worked for me. What can I do?

had the same problem in UUE 2.7 (lucid)- i used some creative muting /unmuting /plugging-in-of my headphones…
UUE 2.8 (maverick)= not so lucky. no amount of subtle switchery helps as the sound mutes each time i plug in the jack (2.7 muted @ unplug!).
asus k60ij notebook.
…holding out for a fix.

I had similar problem with headphones. That solved my problem:

But last week I have mute main speakers when no headphones is plugged. Change volume level on different alsa mixers doesn’t make any effects (volume level is mute back when I try to up volume level). Some players doesn’t work properly (except SMPlayer).
