headphone jack not recognised by ubuntu 10.10

Since you have an unidentified Conexant chipset, you may have more luck with the linuxant drivers: http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/

After I installed this driver I don't have any sound at all now. I tried uninstalling it and I still have no sound. What can I do to fix this?

On an alsa upgrade/install its likely your levels are reset (muted). Did you check those? How about an updated alsa-info output please.

[FIXED] For me anyway... I did some searching on the conexant chip id and found this link:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/637040

Which led me to try model=thinkpad in lidex's post earlier in this thread. This has solved the problem

Thanks Lidex for the post, it sent me in the right direction.

Original post follows (from before I fixed it)
----------------------------------------------

Same laptop model, same distro, same problem...

Diagnostic info is here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e6...ee02887a8eed52

I'm sitting in a dead quiet study lab trying to go over old lecture videos and instead I am studying config files in Ubuntu... I may fail the course, but at least I'll understand ALSA a little better, lol

Anyone found any solution?

Cheers

Steve

[edit]
I did try lidex's solution - and also tried changing model=laptop to model=toshiba. All to no avail

Hi all,
I am also having the same problem . I just installed the ubuntu 10.10 on my ideapad z560 everything is working fine except headphone.
I can here sound in built in speakers but not in headphone.
Also I observed that there is no headphone icon in sound preferences.
I installed the latest alsa drivers.

Further my numeric keypad on the right side of the laptop also not working

Here is the link from the output of the command
wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh

I am pulling out my hair with this codec. Arrghhh. OK, let's see what sticks. Using a Terminal="Applications->Accessories->Terminal"
Open this file for editing:

 gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Insert this line at the bottom:

 options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad

Save. Close. Reboot.
Check your levels in alsamixer.

 alsamixer

Press <F6> to select the correct soundcard.
Press <F3> to show playback levels. <F4> selects capture levels [or use <Tab>]
Use the left/right arrow keys to select and up/down arrow keys to change levels. <M> to mute/unmute.
Go to "System ->Preferences ->Sound" and make sure the correct soundcard is default and adjust your profile on the hardware tab.
On the output tab choose the correct device.

by following kiwi_steve and lidex last posts, so in brief, by adding:

options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad

in the end of the file located at /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Thank you Lidex. I was having the same problem with my Gateway NV52 and your fix worked like a charm. I'm raising a cup of coffee in your honor
