SOLVED Headphone & Speaker Issue SOLVED

[peterkim04]

Hey guys who have had their problems solved, I am still struggling.
Vaio NR10E I am running, 8.10 the sound problem still occurs even though the tick is put next to the headphone switch box.
when i try to follow the instruction above, when i type head -n 1/proc/asound/cardO/codec*, i get 'invalid number of lines'..
also sudo gedit/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base i get 'command not found'. i can't even start to fix it. recently converted to linux after having enough of windows, maybe i did too soon..
it really annoys me that i can't use a simple headphone to work, please help. any help will be welcomed..
regards

I'm just going through the thread before trying this myself, so I'm no expert. However if you posted the commands exactly as you tried them I can see 2 problems:

there should be a gap between the '1' and the '/' in the first command

and between the 'gedit' and the '/' in the second.

I usually copy commands from the OP instead of retyping them, although in this case the second one has an error, with 'ect' instead of 'etc'

Since I was just looking

head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec*

and

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

RE: Sal from Dec 2008, Realtek ALC889A audio on Macintosh, running Ubuntu 8.10

I have an iMac 20" (aluminum), on which I installed Ubuntu 8.10

Sound is working through the computer speakers, but there is no switching to headphones and there is no sound at all from the headphones when they are plugged into the computer. My file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
was modified, I added

options snd-hda-intel model=imac24

There is a red light coming out of the headphone jack too. I read several forums that suggested different options to the end of my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, which I tried below, but none of these has fixed the lack of sound from headphones problem.

options snd-hda-intel intel-mac-v1 [[broken my vol control]]
options snd-hda-intel model=intel-mac-v1 [[no sound]]
options snd-hda-intel model=intel-mac-v2 [[no sound]]]
options snd-hda-intel model=imac-intel [[no sound]]
options snd-hda-intel imac-intel [[[[[broken my vol control]]]]
options snd-hda-intel intel-20 [[broken]]
options snd-hda-intel model=intel-20 [[no sound]]
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop (((broken, and shifted my screen to left)))
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack [[broken my vol control]]]
options snd-hda-intel model=auto [[no sound]]
options snd-hda-intel model=ref [[[[no sound]]]]]
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig ((((no sound)))))


Has anyone resolved the problem for this Codec: Realtek ALC889A sound. I am using the snd-hda-intel module. By the way the sound works when running my Mac OS X partition, so I don't think its a hardware problem. Also I have installed the latest Alsa 1.0.19.
Any solution for getting this to work in linux would be greatly appreciated !!!

My system too works partially, no switching when I plug in the headphone.

when type: head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec*
I get: Codec: Realtek ALC889A

Under: zless /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz
I don't see an option for this Realtek ALC889A,
so I tried: model=imac24

I have a Macbook Pro running Xubuntu 8.10, please let me know if there is a work-around for this.

Thank you

options snd-hda-intel model=imac24

Thanks, this worked. I have a Sony Vaio VGN-N38Z/W. My Vaio uses a Realtek ALC262 chip.

By adding

options snd-hda-intel model=sony-assamd

as a last line to "/etc/modeprobe.d/alsa-base.conf", I've solved the problem right after a restart.

I got my headphones kinda working with this fix. I have a msi ms-1223 or pr201 laptop. I use the following option -

options snd-hda-intel model=medion

(some other models also work though)

Its enough to enable a switch to allow me to mute the speakers. Its manual but its enough to let me use linux on this laptop now so I'm happy.

Thanks,
Jonny

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop

Thanks everyone!

Yeah i'm having the exact same problem as oneiric, my computer speakers work fine (laptop), but when i plug my external speakers into my headphone jack, they don't output any sound. It works in windows 7 so im sure it's not a hardware problem. So far this is what i got from reading through this thread, only problem is neither one of those codecs are listed. Any ideas/suggestions/help are greatly appreaciated, thanks in advance.

saint@saint:~$ head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec*
==> /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 <==
Codec: IDT 92HD71B7X

==> /proc/asound/card0/codec#1 <==
Codec: LSI ID 1040
