Just installed 7.04. Sound works out of my main speakers but when I plug headphones into the front jack sound continues from the main speakers and I get no audio from the headphones.

I'm using a Dell Dimension 9150 desktop.

$ lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)

$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xfebfc000 irq 16

According to alsamixer the chip is a SigmaTel STAC9221 A1.

$ dpkg -l 'alsa*'

Per several threads on headphone jack issues I added the following to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and rebooted:

options snd-hda-intel model=dell

I also tried:

options snd-had-intel model=ref

Neither has worked. I previously had Fedora Core 5 installed on this machine and the headphone jack worked fine.

Setting options snd-hda-intel model=stack3 got it working for me. Thanks!
