    Angry headphone jack not working

    running 64bit ubuntu 11.04 on my new toshiba satellite l-655-s5150

    the headphone jack does not work, but the internal speakers work fine. i mostly use my computer for audio production, so ubuntu is pretty useless if i can't hook up a decent pair of headphones to it. and for that reason i'm forced to use windows until then. i really hate using windows so PLEASE HELP!

    Use the alsa-info-script to provide detailed information.
    Run this command in a terminal:
    Code:
    wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh
    Choose the upload option and provide a link for the output.
    [Terminal="Applications->Accessories->Terminal"]

    Run the command again and when it prompts to upload key in Y and hit enter. You will then be provided with the url of your alsa-info. Post that link here.

    Re: headphone jack not working

    You have two entries in alsa-base.conf that need to go. Open for editing:
    Code:
    gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
    Remove this line:
    Code:
    options snd-hda-intel model=eapd probe_mask=1 position_fix=1
    Edit this line:
    Code:
    options snd-hda-intel model=laptop position_fix=1 enable=yes
    to look like this:
    Code:
    options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad
    Save. Close. Reboot.

    I wonder if you could coach me through mine the same way. Have a Asus A6000 laptop here with no headphone jack audio, Here's the link you were asking for:

    You don't have a mixer element for headphone, but you do have one for line playback currently muted and turned down as well. First try that control.
    Alsamixer
    Using a Terminal="Applications->Accessories->Terminal"
    Code:
     alsamixer
    Press <F6> to select the correct soundcard.
    Press <F3> to show playback levels. <F4> selects capture levels [or use <Tab>]
    Use the left/right arrow keys to select and up/down arrow keys to change levels. <M> to mute/unmute.

    Also look in 'sound preferences' ,on the output tab, and toggle the 'connector' option.

    No joy? Try this using a Terminal.
    Code:
    echo "options snd-hda-intel model=asus" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
    Reboot
