I have two big problem unresolved with ubuntu 8.10 that is: loud speaker unmuted when mic jack plugin AND unable to connect to WPA wireless network! It keeps bumping asking for the paraphase and sometimes OO spreadsheet crash when openning Microsh!t Excel.. that's why I have to co-exist with Bill.
Solved on my asus F3E -> lenovo
I have dell studio xps 13:
"head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec*" gives me
==> /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 <==
Codec: IDT 92HD73C1X5
==> /proc/asound/card0/codec#3 <==
Codec: Nvidia MCP7A HDMI
So I set the model=dell-m6 as someone did for his Studio XPS 16 laptop, but it doesnt work for me yet. I still get sound from both speakers and headphones.
Has anyone had luck with Studio XPS 13 and this problem!?
Ok I solved this problem in my F10 install by compiling the latest alsa-driver from git and using model=dell-m6 . Will try it on Ubuntu later, it should work afaik.
I have the headphone sense problem on my new computer, which has a VIA VT1708B codec. When I read that people were using module-loading options to fix this problem I checked the kernel source and docs to see what was going on. I found some things.
TL;DR version: if you can't get headphone sense working and you have a VIA chip, or some other that nobody's reported as working in Ubuntu, headphone sense for your chip may not be supported in Ubuntu's kernel, or in Ubuntu's alsa-sources, yet. It may be supported in a more recent version, though!
First, the "model" option for snd-hda-intel only works for models within the codec you have (which you can find by grep -i codec /proc/asound/cardN/codec#*, where N is ALSA's index for your card, which is usually 0; you can use * for N to see all the codecs for all the cards). So when you look at the list of models don't choose one that's not under your codec, it won't do anything.
Second, Ubuntu's kernel, as of 8.10, is 2.6.27, which doesn't yet support headphone jack sense for VIA chips. This support should be in kernels 2.6.28 and later. Ubuntu's version of alsa-source (1.0.17) appears to be even older. I don't really know much about git, though (it looks like development for all but new drivers happens in the kernel tree, but I don't know which kernel version corresponds to which ALSA version), so I downloaded the package, and support isn't in there.
oops, double-posted (caused by browser forward-button navigation)... i am new to this, is there a way to delete?
