Speakers AND headphones playing sound simultaneously.

[bdws1975]

Hi all,

I just noticed today that when I plug in my headphones, I still hear sound through my laptop speakers.

I'm on an HP pavillion, running ubuntu 9.10 and I use rhythmbox as my media player.

Thanks!
Brett

I'm running Kubuntu 9.10 and it behaves exactly the same. And I'm happy about this because it means that I can control the volume of both my headphones/headset and my speakers myself. On the rare occasion that I use Windows, I don't get this choice; it thinks that if I plug in the headphones, I don't want the sound coming out of the speakers.

But I want to leave my headset plugged into the front of my PC so that I can handle skype calls by simply switching on the mic. And I have the option to leave the speaker volume up so that others in the room can hear both sides of the conversation, or to mute it if it's private.

[bdws1975]

Hi there,

I actually agree, except there are times when i don't' want others to hear what I'm listening to. I've looked around and can't find where to turn the speakers down without turning the headphones down also.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brett

Usually, this means you need to specify a model keyword in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf so jack sensing will work properly.

[bdws1975]

thanks for the reply. What do I do to specify the model keyword?

Thanks,
Brett


Usually, this means you need to specify a model keyword in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf so jack sensing will work properly.

[Yellow Pasque]

It depends on your computer model and audio codec.

gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Add a line like the following:

options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5

Use this to figure out what codec you have:

aplay -l

model could be one of the following:

[bdws1975]

this is what I see when I type aplay -l in the command terminal.

Brett

[budgieboy]

are you running pulse audio sound server?

[bdws1975]

no, I'm not. should I be?

thanks,
brett

[bdws1975]

Ok, I installed pulse and now it doesn't recognize any soundcards.

Anyone help?

thanks,
Brett

[budgieboy]

No, not particularly. But if you had then the pulse audio control allows simulaneous playback on your soundcoard and headphones - I just thought it could have been a reason for the multi-playback. This can be switched on and off at will using the pulseaudio applet volume control.

[punkdrummer09]

I too started experiencing this problem earlier. I have an HP Pavilion Slimline desktop. When I type 'alsamixer' in the terminal, the headphone volume is at 0 and I cant change it. I'm also unsure of what model should go into this line:
options snd_hda_intel model=model
If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

[platypus1000]

I have this problem as well. I have a Toshiba Satellite T135-1309. It has a Conexant 5066 chip. I have tried passing all three values of model listed for the Contexant 5066. No luck with any of them.

Any one else able to figure this out?

Punkdrummer:

Find out what codec you have
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Look up the codec in the list Temujin provided on the first page. That will tell you the different models that the codec supports
Replace MODEL in
options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL with each one, reboot, and test the sound.
More details about this are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto

[sahayes]

Hi, I'm new to Ubuntu, and I noticed my Compaq Presario CQ-60 laptop has sound coming out of the speakers and the headphones. My sound chip is Conexant ID 5067. Since it wasn't listed, am I out of luck? Thanks, sahayes

[ancientrustic]

I have a Toshiba Satellite with a Conexant 5067. Can anyone out there help?

[secondstage]

Hopefully this will be fixed in 10.04 but for now I'm also in the same boat. Got a Toshiba T135D-S1324 a few days ago, and wish I had done some research prior to purchase. Mine has a Conexant ID 5066

[eternal243]

It depends on your computer model and audio codec.

gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Add a line like the following:

options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5

Use this to figure out what codec you have:

With regards to eternal243's post, I would also like to offer an option for filling in the "model=" parameter. I was browsing an ArchLinux forum (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=95506) and one user recommended using

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

for /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

I mention this only because my Lenovo Y510 running 10.04, using model=lenovo nb0763 was giving me subwoofer support but not headphones and with it disabled giving me the opposite and only giving me internal mic support with it disabled, but by using model=auto I have everything at the same time!!!

Just something to try...

[phyrewall]

Someone please help me fix this problem! I have an Alienware M9750, and ever since Karmic, pulseaudio has screwed up headphone detection (it doesn't, even though the way the speakers sound changes on the laptop) and plays through both the speakers and the headphones all the time. The only solution I've had is to kill pulseaudio and use alsamixer to turn off the speakers. Also of note is the fact that the optical (digital) out and the surround pugs aren't working correctly either.

Here's the obligatory information:

Need assistance with the correct model setting for alsa, please.

Thanks in advance.

[pigphish]

I have the same issue. I manually direct output to my headphones to resolve the issue.

Firstly, it's worth pointing out I did not even get a headphone option until I added the correct model to the alsa-base.conf file.

To switch to headphones I go to:
1. system->preferences->sound
2. Then switch to output tab
3. You should see a drop down (connector). Switch it to headphones or analog headphones.
4. When done switch back.

If you don't see a connector drop down you need to correct your model in alsa-base.conf

Hope this helps, George

[mykrob]

I get the headphone connector option all the time, it just still continues to play through both. In the process of trial and error now. Tried the obvious "asus-laptop" for mine, but no dice...

[pigphish]

I would try a few other models. I tried a bunch until one finally worked.

Earlier ,I used to hear audio from both the internal speakers and the headphones. Now it doesn't play through the headphones even if they are connected.
i.e its not detecting my headphones after upgrading alsa! :(
(if i try to change the output device in system->preferences->sound from 'Internal Audio Analog Stereo' to 'High Definition Audio Controller Digital Stereo(HDMI)' )

I attached my alsa-base configuration file.
Can you please elaborate what do sound levels for 'S/PDIF' represent? they were muted when i tried to run alsamixer .I can only unmute/mute them but none of them seem to send output to my headphones.

[lidex]

The analog card is the one you would use for headphones, not digital(spdif). If those options are not working try changing the model to lenovo. Then try only one line at a time. You'll need to reboot each time for the changes to take effect.

SOLVED!
After 9 painful days of searching and installing needless stuff ...it's funny when you overlook the obvious(googling for the necessary audio driver) from the simple(googling endless forums to add a line in the alsa configuration file). For all conexant audio chip problems ,I guess here is the solution :

http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/

download the .deb package from
http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/archive/alsa-driver-linuxant-1.0.23.0/alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.0_all.deb.zip

unzip it


unzip alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.0_all.deb.zip
run it ! (enter password when prompted)


sudo dpkg -i alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.0_all.deb
Everything works perfectly on my laptop now. :KS
If you have a similar problem of not finding the correct option to put in that alsa conf file, i suggest you google for the appropriate linux drivers first.

The conexant codecs have definitely been a problem. Thanks for that pointer saiganeshb!

+++++Update++++

Now it works! I deleted the options-line in the config file completly. Then I changend in the sound preferences in the output-tab the "connection link" to "Headphones". After I turned up the volume from channel "Front" with alsamixer, I can change between speakers and headphones without any problem.

Hi everybody, it's my first post here.

I've tried almost every method posted in this thread, but nothing has helped. But when I've installed the driver from linuxant my subwoofer (my laptop is Lenovo IdeaPad Y550) has begun to work properly :D That wasn't the main problem and later I've read, that this driver is for Conexant chipsets, so I've removed it.

Now, here's my output from Alsa Info Script. Can you look at it?

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fcb13e4ed9c59ba7a271ad67af363a2bfd2a5282

Try upgrading your alsa install via the alsa-upgrade link in my sig.

[r7s]

Alsa upgraded and the problem still exists.

Hm, take a look at these screenshots (from GNOME Alsamixer):


Screenshot #1: laptop speaker is "muted" by turning down its volume, everything's fine
Screenshot #2: laptop speaker is muted by clicking on a checkbox; the whole sound is muted


In fact I don't use laptop speaker under Ubuntu, so is it possible to turn it off by running a script at startup? I know, it's only a simple hook, not a solution for this problem, but I don't care ;)

Second edit:

I just realised that even if I turn the speaker volume down, it changes along with the master volume.

[lidex]

First check in gnome-alsamixer, 'Edit>Sound Card Properties' for any elements not enabled resembling 'jack sense'. In Sound Preferences, on the 'Hardware' tab, select that soundcard and adjust the profile - possibly 'analog stereo duplex' and on the 'Output' tab check your connector.

Is this a two channel or six channel model? How many audio jacks are there?

First check in gnome-alsamixer, 'Edit>Sound Card Properties' for any elements not enabled resembling 'jack sense'.

I've enabled all elements and any of these hasn't been similar to "jack sense".


In Sound Preferences, on the 'Hardware' tab, select that soundcard and adjust the profile - possibly 'analog stereo duplex' and on the 'Output' tab check your connector.

There are three options: "Analog headphones", "Analog output" and "Analog speakers". When I choose:

"Analog speakers" - everything's the same.
"Analog headphones" - situation from screenshot number 2; the speaker volume doesn't change along with the master volume.
"Analog output" - situation from screenshot number 1; the speaker volume doesn't change along with the master volume.


So, changing the connector to "Analog headphones" or "Analog output" solves my problem.


How many audio jacks are there?

One for mic and one for headphones.


Is this a two channel or six channel model?

Hard to say, because I don't know how to check it, but I think it's a two channel model.

Hi,

I've got VIA vt1708s audio codec - it's based on ASUS m4a785td-m evo motherboard. It's a homemade pc kit.

I've got 8 jacks - six at the back and two at the front.

How do you force Ubuntu to use vt1708s in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf?

I've used http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515893&page=1 to ensure that I had the latest alsa and to no avail that I've tried all other methods too - taken two days and am annoyed why the headphone won't work!

Do I report the bug?

[arturic]

Hello! I have the same issue in my desktop, it's like the speaker output (green plug on the back) its "the same" than the headphone output (green plug on the front), I mean, the volume changes equally, and if one is muted, so the other, there is no way to "select" one.

I noticed that my MacBook Pro currently running Karmic, has a separate volume slider labeled HP for the headphones in Gnome Alsa mixer, which my desktop running Lucid has not. Just to make it clear, this post is about de desktop, not the laptop (I'll deal with that later).

I went and booted in WinXP to check about the drivers, and it turns out that the Realtek audio control didn't have a separate volume for headphones, however it switches between speakers and headphones automatically when plugin/unplugin the headphones, and even displays a notification right above the system tray clock. So I guess this is what it's to be expected in Ubuntu too or better yet, let me a choose manual/automatic output or ideally have a separate volume for headphones but I think this is a hardware limitation.

Oh and one more thing about WinXP, it says my audio card is an ALC885 while Ubuntu (Lucid) says it's an ALC889A

So I followed this thread's (and others') advices but the behavior is still the same, here is what i did:

I upgraded ALSA by adding this repository: "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main" as told on THIS LINK (http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/amd64/linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic/download), because I saw THIS COMMENT (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/587786) (see comment 21). Then using synaptic I installed the linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic, wich auto-selected the alsa-2.6.32-24-generic, and installed a new kernel (wich by the way made me had to uninstall/reinstall nvidia propietary drivers)

Then I edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and added:
options snd_hda_intel model=6stack-dig, then changed it to:
options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig (dashes instead of underscores), and finally
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
Rebooted each time, off course, but all of these with the same results -> "linked" speakers and headphones output

In Sound Preferences If I select Analog Stereo Duplex profile, the Output tab shows a drop-down box for Connector, and the options are Analog Output and Analog Headphones, if I select headphones the output is muted and have to go to alsamixer to raise the front volume, and I have sound, but still linked speakers-headphones.

Also in alsamixer if I mute the headphones (or in Gnome Alsa mixer if I uncheck the -Headphone box) all is muted, but unmuting (or cheking back the box) does not bring sound back, I have to go unmute it on Sound Preferences or on the speaker icon in the system tray.

Now all the technical stuff:
Motherboard chipset: nvida nforce 680i (integrated audio), 6 plug + 1 optical on the back, 2 plugs (hp and mic) on the front

THANK YOU very much for your help !

[lidex]

Don't apologize for being thorough, arturic. It's quite helpful. I take it this is not a premade PC, and has an EVGA motherboard, correct?
It might be helpful to run the alsa-upgrade script linked in my sig. I'd like to see all these at v. 1.0.23:

Driver version: 1.0.23
Library version: 1.0.22

Is this an extract from the alsa-base.sh script?

[arturic]

Thank you very much for your quick reply! :D


I take it this is not a premade PC, and has an EVGA motherboard, correct?

Yes, that's right, the motherboard is an EVGA model 122-CK-NF68-AR, and it's a PC I assembled myself in 2006 (I'm an enthusiast ;) )


Is this an extract from the alsa-base.sh script?

It's an extract from the file generated by the Alsa Info Script (alsa-info.sh) on lidex signature.

So I ran the ALSA Upgrade Script and everything went OK, now those 3 items show 1.0.23, Ooh by the way, this is my new ALSA INFO (http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e9aeb6b1e9459ee261507d4bea9d5c16ea7a9634). The sad news is that everything still exactly the same: speakers "linked" to headphones.

What is the expected behavior with ALSA? The headphones checkbox in Gnome Alsa mixer should turn on and off the headphones but not the speakers right? Also automatic switching when plugin/unplugin could be expected with current drivers/library?

Oh, and which one is correct in alsa-base.conf: snd_hda_intel model or snd-hda-intel?

Thank you! Cheers!

To my knowledge it should be with dashes, not underscores. As this model (auto) doesn't seem to be working, I would remove it. You may want to try enabling msi:

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

One other thing. When you did this:

In Sound Preferences If I select Analog Stereo Duplex profile, the Output tab shows a drop-down box for Connector, and the options are Analog Output and Analog Headphones, if I select headphones the output is muted and have to go to alsamixer to raise the front volume, and I have sound, but still linked speakers-headphones.

did you try adjusting the PCM slider?

[lidex]

OK. From what I found in the motherboard specs, this has 8-channel audio. The only model alsa lists that is specifically 8-channel for that codec is a targa, so it may be worth trying next.

OK, I tried the "targa-8ch-dig" mode and there was a little change, it added a "speakers" checkbox in Gnome Alsa mixer but unckecking it had the same effect of the headphones checkbox: it mutes all, and cheking it back doesn't unmute, have to unmute from Sound Preferences.

Also in Sound Preferences output tab it added an "Analog Speakers" to the Connector dropbox, but the behavior was the same, however using "Analog Headphones" when unchecking/checking "speakers" in Gnome Alsa mixer it muted/unmuted the headphones only... so it's kind of a "progress", but I find using the "Analog Headphones" connector useless, because every time I select it or reboot with it selected, the "front" slider is all the way down and muted, so I have to go raise it every reboot, and it's quite annoying. Also I noticed that using "targa-8ch-dig" removed most of the profiles in the Hardware tab in Sound preferences, using "auto" or "6stack-dig" I have a lot of profiles, including surround 4.0, 4.1 5.0, 5.1, 7.0 and 7.1, so I think "targa-8ch-dig" is not the right for me.

The "enable_msi" option with or without the "targa-8ch-dig" changed nothing.


did you try adjusting the PCM slider?

Yes I did, but the same thing, it adjusts both speakers and headphones.
And also I found a quirk: adjusting the volume from Sound Preferences or the speaker icon in the system tray, bumps the front volume and PCM all the way up in Gnome Alsa mixer and leaves you only "in sync" with the master slider, also as you slide slowly the volume in sound preferences you can see the PCM slider in (gnome) alsamixer moving between 98% - 100%, my guess is this is for "fine tunning" and make smaller volume steps...

Any ideas what to do next? Meanwhile I'll try some other modes.
Thank you very much for your help lidex
Cheers!

headphone jack now works, thanks! ubuntu 10.04, lenovo g560

EDIT2: after removing (sound doesn't work at all) and reinstalling now everything works, as it should.=D>

[CarpKing]

Upgraded ALSA and installed linuxant driver and now everything works! Thanks everyone!

To help anyone googling for help, my codec is: Conexant CX20585 (Pebble 56-QFN)

My laptop is a Toshiba (I did add a "model=toshiba" in alsa.conf but it didn't fix the issue on its own; I'll have to test without that line to see if it did anything)

Ubuntu should see about adding this driver to the "Restricted Drivers" set (I couldn't find a license for the ALSA driver but the other drivers on that page are not open), so people don't have to install it manually.

[CarpKing]

Hmm... The fix doesn't seem to be working after a kernel upgrade. I guess I'll have to run the ALSA script again?

[CarpKing]

Had to re-upgrade ALSA and reinstall the linuxant driver, but now everything works again.

I wonder what the chances are that I could restore the old ALSA and install the driver on that? There might be version issues but it would mean less for me to do on each kernel upgrade.

[CarpKing]

Sorry to bump again, but I thought I should mention that, after another kernel upgrade, reinstalling the driver was all that was necessary to get things working right again. No ALSA upgrade required.

[zvqra1111]

For Lenovo G560:

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

and add to the end:

options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad

With the ideapad-model the headphone jack should be working as expected.

Bye!;)

Hi!

Have you tried this workaround on a G560? Is it really working? I'd like buying one but I wouldn't like having to reinstall the linuxant driver after a every kernel upgrade - it would be very annoying.

I tried that and it works. I just edited that file then rebooted and now when I plug headphones there is no sound coming from the speakers .

What about the internal (and/or external) mic? Is it correctly working? I'm asking because some people are complaining about it.

I fixed this problem a while ago but the last two or three kernel updates have borked it. The terminal messages refer to this log file but I cannot tell what to do to get the speakers muted again. Can anyone help?

If you used the alsa upgrade script, you probably need to run it (with -i) again

Anyone get Linuxant working on Maverick? For me it fails on "building modules" with errors about "implicit declaration of function."

Most recently I've tried applying the patch version of Linuxant to the source downloaded by the ALSA-upgrade script, but it doesn't apply completely and I'm now well outside my knowledge base.

[CarpKing]

I managed to fix this without installing Linuxant. I added
options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad
to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and installed updated ALSA modules as per this page. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules)

I'm not sure which one fixed it, but now my audio works as expected.

[Kopasakis]

so i think i installed the wrong driver i installed the linuxtant driver but i didn't do the alsa upgrade (don't really know how) and now when i right click my web browser just freezes, when i close the lid on my laptop it won't go into standby mode, when i turn it off it wont turn off it says it is waiting on the modem. I've lost complete control of my sound... i can't open alsa at all and when i click on the speaker nothing happens it just says its muted, and when i try to open up my Hardware drivers i just get a box that says its looking for drivers

Try changing that l to a 1 (digit). Reboot. No help, try removing all three lines and reboot.

ok in an interesting turn of events i did an update and the whole thing reset, now i have sound and everything worked like before, unfortunately like before now i get sound through the speakers but when i plug in the headphones i get nothing out of the headphones and the sound keeps playing through the speakers i changed the code to
alias snd-card-1 snd-Si3054 but it continues as normal

Can anyone please help me out? I have the exact problem written in the thread title and I've searched and searched and can't find a solution.
My speakers and headphones are both controlled by the same volume control; the computer doesn't detect when I plug in or unplug headphones (from the front headphone jack on my desktop), and therefore it just plays out of both speakers and headphones.
I tried updating those linux alsa drivers but it had no effect. Yes, I rebooted.

Any help would be muchly appreciated :)

Thanks,

Did you try adding "options snd-hda-intel model=<something>" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf? I think somewhere in this thread there's a link to a list of possibilities for the <something>, which are mostly laptop brands, but from reading this and other threads it seems that which one fixes the problem is unrelated to the actual brand of the laptop.

[dt_]

Yeah, I tried adding that with model=ideapad at one point, but that had no effect. Besides, my motherboard is designed for AMD chips and I'm running an AMD CPU... (though maybe that doesn't matter for this?)

The output of that command was:


Codec: Realtek ALC888

which I assume is the sound chipset builtin to my motherboard? :)

Are there known issues with that one?

I assume you have already tried solution given in comment #52 on page 6 in this thread. I just searched for this problem happening in my new Thinkpad and the solution provided in that comment just worked fine. In my case, I set "Sound Preferences->Output->Connector" property to "Analog Output".

Yep. It's currently on Analog Output and it plays out of both speakers and headphones. If I change it to "Analog Headphones," I get no sound out of either output. :/

Looks like your audio is defaulting to hdmi. I would imagine it is because you have this option added to alsa-base.conf:

options snd-hda-intel index=-2 model=6stack-dig

I would remove 'index=-2' so it resembles this:

options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig
Now reboot.

[dt_]

Unfortunately, that had no effect. :(
Yeah, I had looked at Sound Preferences before and ensured that hdmi wasn't the selected output. When that's selected, no audio is heard (obviously, since I have nothing plugged into HDMI at the moment) :)

How is sound in this state?

[dt_]

It's still the same -- it sounds just fine ,but it outputs from both the speakers and the headphones at the same time, and there's only one volume control for the both of them. :(

[lidex]

Your output shows a headphone 'switch':

Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
Capabilities: pswitch penum
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Mono:
Front Left: Playback [on]
Front Right: Playback [on]

but no headphone volume. I also note you have 6-channel mode selected. Try changing that to 8-channel. You may want to install gnome-alsamixer. Using Alt+F2 run dialog

gnome-alsamixer
Use 'Edit -> Sound Card Properties' menu to enable elements.
Soundcard tab to select / adjust levels.
To install:

sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer

[dt_]

All the options are checked in Sound Card Properties, and I don't see anywhere a place to switch between 6-channel and 8-channel.

For what it's worth, this is what my gnome-alsamixer looks like:

Hi Community,

But I haven't had any luck, my laptop is still giving sound through headphones and speakers... Muting in alsamixer the speakers results in no sound (sound is mute) and when setting connector "Analog Headphones" in output tab of Sound preference I don't get any sound.

Got a similar problem, with an asus K70AB laptop. Google didn't provide any relevant results for my specific laptop model.

When I tried updating the alsa driver from outside the canonical repos, I got an unusable audio setup - there was a constant beep in the speakers, mutable only by inserting the headphone jack, and pulse was completely damaged. I had to do a fresh install, apt-get purge/install for pulse or any package containing alsa in its name didn't help.

I tried the following models in alsa-base.conf: laptop, asus and asus-laptop. All three have the same effect - i.e. none.

The way alsamixer and pavucontrol play together is weird, so I'll explain it:

Alsamixer shows the following controls for output: front, headphones and master front.

Pavucontrol shows the following output devices: RV7/something (HDMI) and Internal Audio Analog Stereo, for which I have two ports: Analog Output and Analog Headphones.

Now comes the strange part. Initially, the output port is set to Analog Output in pavucontrol. Speakers and headphones play simultaneously. When I switch to Analog Headphones, both speakers and headphones are muted. If I look into alsamixer, which I haven't touched since reboot, the volume for front is set to zero, whereas it was set to 100 before changing the port in pulse's volume control - must be pavucontrol's doing. If I turn up the volume for front - not for headphones - in alsamixer, I get to listen to music in the headphones, and the speakers stay muted. Changing the volume for headphones in alsamixer seems to have no effect at all.

All that time, all unmentioned volume controls both in alsamixer and in pavucontrol stay untouched.

With a combined use of alsamixer and pavucontrol I can have sound in the headphones only. What I haven't managed is to get sound only to the speakers, and not to the headphones, but that's not that much of a problem.

I have no clue of implementation details of either alsa or pulse, but this behavior, IMO, hints to some streams being mixed up by the two. Can any alsa + pulse guru help me out with this?

On the other hand, is there a way to have some script executed on inserting/extracting the headphone jack to automatically do what I now must do now to switch between headphones/speakers? I guess I'd be able to script the thing myself, but have no clue about how to call it event-driven.

On a hypothetical third hand, I suppose the issue is potentially related to my laptop model not being yet properly supported by alsa, in which case I'm not really able to help with code, but I'm willing to do whatever experiments the alsa developers might need me to perform.

[a_flj_]

sort of solved all by itself after adding
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
options enable_msi=1 to /etc/modprobe/alsa-base.conf, and creating an /etc/asound.conf with the following content:
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}

Still, sometimes it seems like going mad, but even then, playing a bit with the ports in pavucontrol and the mute/unmute options in alsamixer it seems it gets right after a while.

I'm still available for debugging if somebody wants my help. I still think there's some messup in the way pulse and alsa talk to each other.

[OttoMann]

Did you try:

options snd-hda-intel model=autoin alsa-base.conf?

Thank you lidex!!! :p:)

Adding auto for model solved my problems after nothing else seemed to work on my MSI Megabook 271.

But I have an off topic question:

After messing around with different setup I noticed a red light shining out of my phones jack.
What is it (maybe an combined jack for digital audio or just an error signal)?

Hello Comunity.

I'm new in Ubuntu, installed Natty 11.04 in a Lenovo e520. After i installed the system i´m facing a series of problems. I would like to correct this issue with the headphohes and regular sound playing at the same time.

Quoting saiganeshb tread 38:
"SOLVED!
After 9 painful days of searching and installing needless stuff ...it's funny when you overlook the obvious(googling for the necessary audio driver) from the simple(googling endless forums to add a line in the alsa configuration file). For all conexant audio chip problems ,I guess here is the solution :

http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/

download the .deb package from
http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/....0_all.deb.zip (http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/archive/alsa-driver-linuxant-1.0.23.0/alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.0_all.deb.zip)

unzip it
Code:
unzip alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.0_all.deb.zip
run it ! (enter password when prompted)
Code:
sudo dpkg -i alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.0_all.deb
Everything works perfectly on my laptop now. :KS
If you have a similar problem of not finding the correct option to put in that alsa conf file, i suggest you google for the appropriate linux drivers first."

I'm not sure if my codecs are good for this alsa driver. Then i haven't try yet.

With gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop, thinkpad, lenovo, auto...

didn't get results.

This are my audio info:
