How can I make xubuntu remember headphones and analog settings?

1 Attachment(s)

Searching through the forums, I could find results for setting default profiles and troubleshooting HDMI problems and so on. In my case, it isn't about a analog vs HDMI issue, but something within the analog profile. I need to manually switch between headphones and analog to get things working.

Is there a way to automatically make Xubuntu 13.04 to remember the port settings?

Re: How can I make xubuntu remember headphones and analog settings?

this might be a partial solution,install sound switcher indicator. it will make switching a little less annoying

Re: How can I make xubuntu remember headphones and analog settings?

It is a nice indicator, but doesn't show 'headphones'. I can only switch between analog and HDMI with it (but a nice app nonetheless).
