Question on audio output

[MarkHaysHarris777]

I just received my pinebook and I'm enjoying getting used to it, so far I'm using the installed Ubuntu/Mate system.

There are two aspects of the audio output that I wonder about.

1) low volume
2) speakers stay on when I plug in headphones.

The volume function buttons are working, but the highest volume is not load enough

Be sure to update your pinebook software to the latest image;  there are many fixes.

Also, make sure that you get the  latest  asound.state  file from the repo ;  this alsa file contains fixes to some of the audio difficulties including activating the mic(s).

I have amplifier speakers for my pinebook;  as with any computer, they enhance the listening experience;
