SOLVED Headphone & Speaker Issue SOLVED

[loctorn]

i have tried this solution but it appears to not do anything. i still have the same issues. i run hardy on an asus m50, and i noticed there were a few asus tags in the alc880, but the intial command yields an alc888, would there be any downside to trying out something else?

you could try this which help'd me and it was instead of
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch
*I used this but had to continuously plug/unplug my headphones before it would work and upon system restart it continued to not work till I started plugging/unplugging it again...would take up to 8 times before it worked.*

I instead used

options snd-hda-intel model=targa-dig

This option worked for me the first go round....system restart and still working. Might hafta play around with different variation's depending on your system and see what happen's.

I have an MSI EX600 Laptop and this has been the only problem that I've had thus far with Ubuntu and now it's fixed.

Hope this help's someone out there =P

Tried
options snd-hda-intel model=targa-dig
options snd-hda-intel model=auto probe_mask=1 position_fix=1
options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo

and lots more.

Whatever I do, I can't stop the speakers playing with I switch to headphones :/

Running a Realtek ACL888

I just installed Gnome LASA mixer, and unmuted the side speakers, plugged my headset in, and voila

Both work at same time, full volume, no swicthes needed.

This also worked for me.
Don't like having to switch it every time i plug my headphones in but its better than nothing...

Thanks!

This solution does not work for vaio NR498e. I've try and no result.But it was fixed by only install VLC 0.8.6e.

[Dusenberg]

Worked for me! Thanks.

As standard I had a headphone switch in mixer but it did nothing. Tried several options, only 'hippo' worked as it gave me a headphone slider in the mixer.

It looks like this is heading me in the right direction. However, when I enter the command-

sudo gedit /ect/modprobe.d/alsa.base

I open a window named-

*alsa.base (ect/modprobe.d) - gedit

this window is completely blank. But I tried entering the text anyways-

options snd-hda-intel model=vaio

And I get an error message reading-

Could not save the file [i]/ect/modprobe.d/alsa.base[i] unexpected error, file not found

So I close out that window and I have an error message on my terminal, basically saying the same thing...

I would think that file would be named the same in Mint as in Ubuntu, but maybe I am wrong..? Maybe I am missing something?

EDIT:: OK THE WINDOW HAS TEXT IN IT, ITS JUST HIDDEN! THANKS!!

This worked perfectly for me on a Sony VGN-NR385SE. Used sony-assamd option with Realtek ALC262. Eliminates the need for the headphone switch, speakers turn off when headphones are plugged in.
