Hi Raymond, have now used "Pin Default 0x01014000: [Jack] Line Out at Ext Rear" (like a headphone socket but at the rear and the visible ring is yellow) - NOW WE HAVE SOUND ON LEFT CHANNEL !!! Thank you so much - the linux on this machine is at last usable for daily tasks.
The link you have included: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/commit/sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c?id=d08c5ef2a039393eaf2ab2152db5f07790fa0f40 speaks of "ALSA: hda - Provide missing pin configs for VAIO with ALC260... Some models (or maybe depending on BIOS version) of Sony VAIO with ALC260 give no proper pin configurations as default, resulting in the non-working speaker, etc. Just provide the whole pin configurations via a fixup." Is there a way of getting the right channel working as well ? (this laptop used to have WinXP and the normal headphone socket at the side working with full Stereo sound). If there is a possibility of getting full stereo - what is the next thing I should try? Irrespective if the full stereo is achievable or not - I am very appreciative of you looking at this problem and getting the laptop to be usable at last - Thank you again very much. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562396 Title: No sound - ALC260 snd-hda-intel on Vaio VGN-A497XP on MATE 16.4 Final Beta To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1562396/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
