Sound in both speakers and headphones on HP Pavilion.

[bleakcabal]

Hello.

I have an HP Pavilion Desktop computer with integrated speakers in the screen.

When I do not have any headphones plugged in my headphone jack, sound is coming out of the speakers.

When I plug headphones in my headphone jack, sound is coming out of both the speakers and the headphones.

I would like for sound to come only from the headphones when they are plugged in.

Does anyone have had any success dealing with this issue?

What version of ubuntu are you using?

[bleakcabal]

Oops, I should have mentioned that.
Karmic Koala.

Hy
I'm having a similar problem.
I installed Ubuntu 9.10 KK on my Pavilion dv7 2150ez. All fine but for sound. After browsing a little, I read somewhere something about updating my BIOS which I did and that solved my problem only to find that plugging my headphone does not turn off the speakers.

Any solution to that? I'm reading a lot of stuff about Karmic Koala having sound issues; having to manually upgrade to the next ALSA version or uninstalling PulseAudio. What's the final word on all this?

As a secondary issue, I have noticed that I dont have any sound whatsoever (speakers, headphone) when switching to a different user? Anybody experienced that too and solved it?

I have also noticed that my movies play at twice the speed they should when using movie player in that second account but are fine (other than sound) with VLC. Dont think there is a link but I'd rather mention it just in case...

Ok I'm done, I finally have my sound working on my HP pavilion dv7 2150ez with Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala; Both speakers are working and they switch off when I plug my headphones.

YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS

So for the record here is what I did:

I updated my BIOS; that did not do the trick

I updated my alsa to version 1.0.21; that did not do the trick

I edited my alsa-base.conf and added the enable_msi=1 option: that did not do the trick

So I finally installed the alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz as described here
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/So...20dvx%20laptop

and edited the alsa-base.conf file and added
options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5

(and not options=hp_dv5 as I read in a few threads)

and that did it.

The bottom line is; when everything else fails, read the doc!

It was right there under my eyes but read the section about dv7 ignoring the one about dvxx. When I tried the section about dvxx (dv7 is, afterall, a dvxx), everything fitted.

Next step: getting HDMI working...

While this works (I've tried both the alsa-driver snapshot and the alsa-driver-1.0.22.1) what you lose is your microphone! With this fix the input is dead. If you right click on the speaker icon and select Sound Preferences then over to the Input tab you'll see your input is all grayed out.

Also, adding enable_msi=1 doesn't seem to do anything for me. setting model=hp-dv5 appears to be key. I wonder what hp-dv7 will do... Well that doesn't work... Back to hp-dv5.

Argh! I can't seem to get my mic working again. Perhaps it stopped working when I went from the default alsa with 9.10 -> 1.0.22.1. The default alsa driver worked like crap in that the sound was horrible - it seems like all the audio was coming from the sub woofer. With 1.0.22.1 the sound was much improved but still only stereo (where's the 5.1?). But I think the mic input broke with that new driver.

Either 1.0.22.1 or the snapshot driver works IFF you set model=hp-dv5 (other values such as hp-dv7 don't work).

Given the state of things I think I'll stick with 1.0.22.1 and hp-dv5. Still I'd like to get all the functions of the sound card, which I did pay for BTW, working. Is that asking for too much? Argh!

Update: Another problem is that my Bluetooth headset doesn't work!!!

hmmmm... i have the same problem on my hp dv7 3080us
but i already have alsa 1.0.21 and have added
"options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5"
to alsa-base.conf and still have the same issue..

in fact, here's my alsa-base file

i wonder why it works for willix's dv7 but not on mine

[Eraser]

I would like to report that I was having the issue of sound coming from both speakers and headphones in ah HP Pavilion dv6-1375dx.

Following the procedure described by willix solved the problem.

Thanks willix for the simple, easy to follow instructions.

Ok I'm done, I finally have my sound working on my HP pavilion dv7 2150ez with Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala; Both speakers are working and they switch off when I plug my headphones.
