I'm using Lenovo Y410p. After I plug in the headphones, there's constant buzzing noise from speaker. If I unplug them, the noise disappears.

If I disable "Auto-Mute Mode" through alsamixer, the noise disappeared immediately while the headphones are stilled plugged in. And the noise came back immediately if I enable "Auto-Mute Mode". But this is not a good solution because the feature of auto switching to headphones or speaker is gone.

Btw, my problem is similar to this one except that the noise remains whether playing music or not.

Thank you very much!

this happened to me.

I stops it by going into the sound settings and turning the Skype volume to 0. I was trying to watch a Youtube video at the time and the buzzing was occurring.

you might have a program interfering with the audio your trying to listen to.

  • Thank you for your reply! But there's only one program running(I'm listening to music online in Chrome). And the noise is from the speaker. – Coiby Dec 19 '13 at 14:04
  • Reinstalling Skype from official Ubuntu repo helped me. Settings - Software&updates - sources - add "Canonical partners", apt-get update and apt-get install skype) – Victor Sergienko Apr 27 '14 at 16:52
  • @VictorSergienko That worked for me. Why not submit it as an answer? I'll vote for it. – Teemu Leisti Jul 28 '14 at 07:35

Also have a Y410p and was having the same issue. Opening alsamixer and setting Auto-Mute Mode to disabled fixed it for me.

Ok, maybe this is not the best solution but for me (lenovo Y410p) the buzzing noise apears when the keyboard back-lighting is on dim, but not when keyboard back-lighting is off or on high.

The actual/official fix for this issue is using the Fn + Spacebar to either set the keyboard back-lighting to high or off.
