headphone jack not working

[finomeno]

Hello!

I am having the same problem with my Lenovo G470. Well, sort of...

mode=laptop solves my mic not working, but messes up the headphones jack (when I plug my cans in they stay silent and the sound continues to play through the internal speakers).

mode=ideapad does the reverse - fixes the headphones jack, but messes up the mic (it disappears from alsamixer and pavucontrol has no effect on it).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Here's the link to my ALSA information: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7d...e29a01285e5459

Thank you!

If you are still helping, it would be much appreciated. The sound works fine with the internal speakers but the headphone jack does nothing.

Hi,

Hate to jump onto the band wagon - but I have a Dell Vostro laptop that I cannot get the headphone jack working on either.

My alsa information can be found here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=11...b4db71088648c4

Appreciate any help as I'd like to be able to listen to music whilst working.

Try this using a Terminal="Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

echo "options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Reboot

I tried this and still no working headphone jack. I know it is not broken because it works in windows. Any ideas?

Make sure to check your settings in alsamixer and sound preferences.Then try changing the model from thinkpad to ideapad.
For editing:

gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

You have two model settings in alsa-base.conf.
Remove one and change the model on the other to thinkpad.
No help? Try ideapad.

Hello lidex,

Could you have a look at my situation too, please.

I am having the same problem with my Lenovo G470.
I have tried different settings, but none of them work completely:

mode=laptop solves my mic not working, but messes up the headphones jack (when I plug my cans in they stay silent and the sound continues to play through the internal speakers).

mode=ideapad does the reverse - fixes the headphones jack, but messes up the mic (it disappears from alsamixer except for volume and boost, and pavucontrol has no effect on it either).

All the latest updates installed, including the latest BIOS flash from Lenovo.

Any help would be much appreciated.

These are the model options:

 
  laptop        Basic Laptop config (default)
  hp-laptop     HP laptops, e g G60
  asus          Asus K52JU, Lenovo G560
  dell-laptop   Dell laptops
  dell-vostro   Dell Vostro
  olpc-xo-1_5   OLPC XO 1.5
  ideapad       Lenovo IdeaPad U150
  thinkpad      Lenovo Thinkpad

You should try them all if you haven't already. You see the asus model is even specified for lenovo g560 and that may have the same configuration as yours. Alsa is automagically selecting the ideapad model for you:

[   15.785652] ALSA hda_codec.c:3986 hda_codec: model 'ideapad' is selected for config 17aa:0 (Lenovo)

So you need to counteract it.
