Public bug reported: Description: In 11.10, my audio worked perfectly. However, in 12.04, on my intel HD audio, I can only get output from the front panel headphones output. None of the outputs on the back panel work.
There are some unusual symptoms. For example, the "headphone" checkbox is always checked, and if I uncheck it, it mutes all sound (systray icon shows muted). Even if I mess with all sliders, muting and unmuting them, the back outputs won't work. Attempts to fix, in no order: -run from liveCD -purge + reinstall alsa and pulseaudio -all combinations of settings in alsa-mixer, pavucontrol, sound control panel -disable + re-enable intel-hda in BIOS -all suggestions on the soundtroubleshooting and hdaintal sound wiki pages: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: alsa-base 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-23.36-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
