Headphones not working (but detected on alsamixer)
Hi,
My headphones used to work on ubuntu on my dell studio 1558, but when I reinstalled the system they seems to stop working.
When I plug them in I don't hear anything, the speaker stop working but there is no sound on the headphones.
The headphone is detected on alsa mixer, and they work normally on Windows, I tried this workaround here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=302543&page=2 without a solution.
Any idea how to get them to work, thank you.

Can you post the output of these terminal commands for me please:
Code:
uname -a
aplay -l
cat /proc/asound/version
head -n 1 /proc/asound/card*/codec#*
Terminal="Applications->Accessories->Terminal"
Please post text output using code tags. Also helpful is the make/model of your PC/Laptop.

Hi,
I was having the exact same problem on my Dell Studio 1558 (sound through the speakers, but none when using headphones). After some more google-ing around, I found this doco: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
I found my card model using this:
Code:
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
which returned:
Code:
Codec: IDT 92HD73C1X5
This file: /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz lists the sound models with available modprobe modules to use.
Code:
zless /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz
The full model number wasn't in there, because the model has been wildcarded. I searched for In this section there are several PC models listed, find the one that best suites you (I used 'dell-eq').
After a reboot, I had headphone sound again.
Cheers,
Paul

Thank you for the post pgmac,
Just what I needed to fix headphone sound on the same Dell studio 1558.
I do not want to moan about others, especially when they volunteer ... this problem is quite old ... so without your post, I'd probably be lost ...
Hello Dell maybe you can volunteer some to help to fix this in alsa ...
Re: Headphones not working (but detected on alsamixer)
Many thanks, pgmac. It worked for my dell 1558!

Code:
gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Add this line at the end:
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-eq
Save and quit. The setting will take effect on next reboot.
