I have connected speakers to the back panel of my computer at work and I would like to have them always enabled (I can switch them off on the speaker casing). However when I connect headphones on the front panel system automatically says that the rear output is unplugged.
I found a solution to disable auto detection with Alsamixer and it works almost ok except the fact that after system restart I need to reconfigure the settings again... How can I set this once and forget about it?

Also, keep in mind that changing the settings withalsamixerworks fine. The issue I am experiencing is that the system forgets my changes on reboot so I need adjust speaker volume every morning... Maybe not much time but still: would prefer to keep these settings on restart. :)

The volume levels are stored in~/.config/pulse/*device-volumes.tdbYou could backup that file in another directory after you have set your volume levels. Then restore that file at login. It probably wouldn't hurt to back up all the files in~/.config/pulse/
– stumblebee

After files have been restored to~/.config/pulse/you will need to runkillall pulseaudiofor the changes to take affect. Pulseaudio will repawn.

hdajackretask is a tool to reassign the function your jacks for different input, output or disabled - e g, turn your Mic jack into an extra Headphone, or why not make them both line outs and connect them to your surround receiver?
Install alsa-tools-gui
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install alsa-tools-gui
Run hdajackretask Then To override one of your jacks:
- Select a codec
- Click the "Override" checkbox for that pin and select the new
desired function - Test out the changes with the "Apply now" button
- Once satisfied, click "Install Boot Override"

Are you disabling the Auto-Mute Mode in AlsaMixer?
amixer sset 'Auto-Mute Mode' 'Disabled'
does the same, you could add this to some startup script.
