Ubuntu issue solved: shutdown when headphones jack is connected

Some users installed Ubuntu on laptop may find this issue:. Every time you plug in a headset or earphones the laptop automatically shuts down. If you have a windows OS installed, you may find Windows is working fine with the same headset.

Here is the fix for the issue:

• Disable the power saving mode for Intel HD sounds


$ sudo gedit /etc/default/tlp

• Replace the following in the file tlp:

SOUND_POWER_SAVE_ON_BAT=1

with

SOUND_POWER_SAVE_ON_BAT=0

• Restart tlp service

$ sudo service tlp restart
