ALC861-VD Headphone jack FIX

**jamesa00789** · September 27th, 2010

Hi there. After several months of pain and glory, which included messing up my ALSA settings a reinstall of Ubuntu 10.04 I have found a fix for solving the headphone jack issue using the ALC861-VD chipset. This thread is old, but wanted to share that it does work:

Add "options snd-hda-intel model=dallas" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base by:

Code:

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

Then reboot. I would post on the past topic but it is old and this bug still continues in Ubuntu 10.10! Please fix this.

Note: I do not have a Toshiba but a Packard Bell Easy Note and this still fixes this bug.

Thank you so much and I hope this solves a lot of issues.

How do I do this?
I am having problems with headphone jack on a Packard Bell Ubuntu 11.4.
I opened the terminal entered the code sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
Which done something and wrote options at the bottom of the terminal
I then tried entering options snd-hda-intel model=dalla
but nothing happened.

Sorted.
Followed instructions on another thread [QUOTE]http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1745051.html[/QUOTE] To type sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf in the terminal then added your code

options snd-hda-intel model=dallas

as an extra line at the end
Thanks!
