I have this workflow:
- Listen through headphones
- Press mute button on my keyboard
- Unplug my headphones to move away
I noticed that at least on GNOME, audio keeps playing.
How can I configure this mute button to keep muted after unplugging headphones?

Have you had a look at this ? – Robert Riedl Feb 08 '18 at 15:09

Thanks! Surprised to see it needs scripting. Will request this feature for GNOME upstream. :-) – orschiro Feb 08 '18 at 15:16

I think we are just used to this feature because of smartphones :) – Robert Riedl Feb 08 '18 at 15:33

@RobertRiedl yeah but it is a brilliant feature! :-D Sometimes I forget about this, unplug my headphones and surprise my coworkers with my music. Not very elegant. ;-) – orschiro Feb 08 '18 at 15:38

...as long as it is not "organ"-music, wink-wink,nudge-nudge ;-) – Robert Riedl Feb 08 '18 at 15:41

ah, then you should be fine ! What I did, with a laptop that has (due to the docking station) both a LINE out and a headphone jack, I just plugged an open cable into the lineout - Ubuntu seems to default to the line-out output, if I unplug my headphones or disconnect my bluetooth headset. – Robert Riedl Feb 08 '18 at 16:01

My laptop doesn't support lineout. :-( Anyway, here is the bug report. Bug 793305 – orschiro Feb 08 '18 at 16:13
