With regards to eternal243's post, I would also like to offer an option for filling in the "model=" parameter. I was browsing an ArchLinux forum and one user recommended using

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

for /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

I mention this only because my Lenovo Y510 running 10.04, using model=lenovo nb0763 was giving me subwoofer support but not headphones and with it disabled giving me the opposite and only giving me internal mic support with it disabled, but by using model=auto I have everything at the same time!!!

Just something to try...

Someone please help me fix this problem! I have an Alienware M9750, and ever since Karmic, pulseaudio has screwed up headphone detection (it doesn't, even though the way the speakers sound changes on the laptop) and plays through both the speakers and the headphones all the time. The only solution I've had is to kill pulseaudio and use alsamixer to turn off the speakers. Also of note is the fact that the optical (digital) out and the surround pugs aren't working correctly either.

Here's the obligatory information:

Thanks in advance, this is really bugging me!!

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=6stack-dig

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.

figure I'll try my laptop too, why not...

Its an Asus K50IJ.

Here's the info on the sound card:

myk@mobileOne:/etc/modprobe.d$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]

myk@mobileOne:/etc/modprobe.d$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: VIA VT1708S
myk@mobileOne:/etc/modprobe.d$

I have the same problem, the speaker still plays when my headphones are plugged in.
Need assistance with the correct model setting for alsa, please.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue. I manually direct output to my headphones to resolve the issue.

Firstly, it's worth pointing out I did not even get a headphone option until I added the correct model to the alsa-base.conf file.

To switch to headphones I go to:
1. system->preferences->sound
2. Then switch to output tab
3. You should see a drop down (connector). Switch it to headphones or analog headphones.
4. When done switch back.

If you don't see a connector drop down you need to correct your model in alsa-base.conf

Hope this helps, George

I get the headphone connector option all the time, it just still continues to play through both. In the process of trial and error now. Tried the obvious "asus-laptop" for mine, but no dice...

[pigphish]

I would try a few other models. I tried a bunch until one finally worked.

I haven't seen it. Do this for me. Can you post the output of these terminal commands for me please:

uname -a
aplay -l
cat /proc/asound/version

Terminal="Applications->Accessories->Terminal"
Please also include the make/model of your PC/Laptop.
Please post text output using code tags (the # in toolbar)

hi,
sorry for replying late, didn't check this forum in days .

Anyway, heres the output I get:

$uname -a
