this is still a problem in ubuntu 8.10, Mint 6, and ubuntu 9.04 beta as of today 4/11/09. I'm using an acer aspire 6930. also the integrated mic doesn't work either and I don't know if it's related.
adding the line "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" in /etc/modprobe.d /alsa-base gets the stereo headphone jack working correctly. the info for Jaunty on the aspire 6930 is as follows: attached unedited alsa-base file. lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) lsmod | grep snd snd_hda_intel 435636 3 snd_pcm_oss 46336 0 snd_mixer_oss 22656 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 82948 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_dummy 10756 0 snd_seq_oss 37760 0 snd_seq_midi 14336 0 snd_rawmidi 29696 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 15104 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 56880 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 29704 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 14988 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd 62628 15 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 15200 1 snd snd_page_alloc 16904 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm ps -eaf | grep pulse USERNAME 3288 3228 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon --sh --write-env-file=/home/USERNAME/.gnupg/gpg-agent-info-USERNAME-laptop /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/pulse-session /usr/bin/seahorse-agent --execute x-session-manager USERNAME 3289 3228 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon --sh --write-env-file=/home/USERNAME/.gnupg/gpg-agent-info-USERNAME-laptop /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/pulse-session /usr/bin/seahorse-agent --execute x-session-manager USERNAME 3292 1 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/pulse-session /usr/bin/seahorse-agent --execute x-session-manager USERNAME 3298 1 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start USERNAME 3299 3298 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/pulseaudio/pulse/gconf-helper USERNAME 3717 3593 0 16:17 pts/0 00:00:00 grep pulse ** Attachment added: "alsa-base file" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25262658/alsa-base.conf -- Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron BETA - Sound heard through Speakers but NOT through Headphones https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209057 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
