Any Gnu/Linux user here that has had problem with external speakers making the sound settings rapidly switching between line out and headphones? 😄

check for dust or fluff or anything that could be in the audio socket. Most high-end audio sockets have some sort of mechanism inside that tells the OS to switch to headphones when you plug something in, if there's dirt in there, it'll jump between the two. I've had it on both a Linux laptop and on an old MacBook Pro
For desktop, I've had something similar when there was a little bit of dust on the soundcard sitting in the PCIX slot - wiped the dust and the switching stopped.
