Do you mean a physically connected microphone? I never used one with this Notebook... I did not find a command/script 'hda-jack-sense-test'...
When I connect ear phones the connection is noticed by the desktop environment, so it seems there is some jack detection at least for the phones. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316156 Title: speakers audio won't work - pavucontrol is switching continually between speakers and headphones Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The port is continually switching between Speakers and Heaphones and no audio is outputting from the speakers. I have tried various distributions and have found that this problems is NOT present in Ubuntu 11.04, 12.04, 13.04. I have not tried 11.10, or 12.10. But have found 13.10 and 14.04 to show this identical problem. My main concern is for the 14.04 LTS version I am currently using. - I tried regulating the audio from alsamixer -by disabling auto-mute in alsamixer i managed to stop it switching from one port to the other. Still, no audio from speakers (only a regular and low-volume BUMP comes out) - I tried modifying the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file. Since i could not find my pc (Packard Bell EasyNote MX45) in the alsa-configuration list, i have tried using only the audio boards main info as referral (Intel HDA AD1986A NM10/ICH7). Thus i have added to the alsa-base.conf the following and rebooted after trying each and every new line (added only once per try, not all of them together). -options snd-hda-intel model=laptop -options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-eapd -options snd-hda-intel model=3stack -options snd-hda-intel model=generic - Also tried the position_fix quirking suggested on the ubuntu documentation pages -options snd-hda-intel position_fix= 1 -options snd-hda-intel position_fix= 2 The audio outputted from the speakers kept being a regular BUMP and nothing more, regardless of the input.
