Headphone jack sense not working on HP Pavilion DV6-1210SA

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

Hi

Apologies, I don't think this is a pulseaudio bug, but I'm not sure of a better place to put sound issues. Please reassign it if you have more knowledge than I do on the subject!

When I plug headphones in to the jack on my HP Pavilion DV6-1210SA laptop, I get sound coming out of both the speakers and the headphones. I've googled for 'Ubuntu jack sense' and it seems that people have been having this problem for years with different laptops. The only way I can get sound coming out of just the headphones is if I go to the sound settings and change the Output Connector to 'Analogue Output' as opposed to the default 'Analogue Speakers'. This is very inconvenient and I have to change it back to 'Analogue Speakers when I want to use the speakers again.

Regards
Graham
