Description:
If I plug in my headphones I can hear the sound both in my speakers and in my headphone. I expect the speakers to mute when I use my headphones. It worked some time ago. ;)

I tried turning the headphone or the front channel down via alsamixer and it works, but if I change the volume via pulseaudio(gnome or pavucontrol) both channels are set to the full volume again.

I tried to select the audio output via the gnome audio tab and both "Line Out" and "Headphone" behave the same.

Additional info:

Name : pulseaudio
Version : 5.0-1

Name : pulseaudio-alsa
Version : 2-3

Name : alsa-plugins
Version : 1.0.28-1

Hardware: EP45-DS4
Audio chipset: Realtek ALC889A

Steps to reproduce:
Listen to music and plug in your headphones.
The speakers and the headphones play music.
This task depends upon

Is Headphone Jack Sense set?
What's the output of 'amixer | grep Jack'?

amixer | grep Jack
does not return anything.

I'm really guessing this is a configuration issue, but there could be a regression somewhere. Unfortunately, I'm not sure where to assign it. tpowa maintains a number of the alsa packages, so we're going to try him.

It's a kernel driver issue. Starting with 3.14, the "Auto-Mute Mode" option from alsamixer disappeared on my desktop with Realtek ALC887-VD audio. The attached diff of amixer's output between kernels 3.13 and 3.14 clearly shows it.

Note that not all machines are affected, my netbook with Realtek ALC268 audio still has the "Auto-Mute Mode" option.
