Public bug reported: Hello,
What is working fine: Everything as long as I don't plug anything in my laptop audio jack. I can change volume, mute, unmute, and the internal speaker of my laptop is playing the sounds and musics fine. The problem: As soon as I plug my audio jack in the laptop, the internal speaker stops, but the external speaker doesn't give out any sound. (And yes, I did try with a mp3 player, also with a headspeaker). Actually for a few weeks it used to not work, and then work for a few weeks, and now it never worked again. What I found: I noticed that when I start 'alsamixer' and I plug the audio-jack, then the 'Speaker' channel get muted and set to zero. I'm able to unmute it, and increase the volume, and I also need to disable the 'Auto-Mute Mode' to get some sound back, but only on the internal speakers... I just spent quite some time on the forums to find a solution to my problem with no success. I did try to play with the kde configuration things too. For every of theses line, I did try to add it (uncommented) at the end of my '/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf' and reboot, but with no change: #options snd-hda-intel position-fix=1 #options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode3 #options snd slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-usb-audio #option snd-hda-intel mode=auto I also just try did to use the latest alsa with no success: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade Also "strace aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav" show me nothing really interresting, but I may be wrong, here are the missing fopen() filtered: access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/asound.conf", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/home/nuage/.asoundrc", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/home/nuage/.pulse/client.conf", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/pulseaudio.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/pulseaudio.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale-langpack/en/LC_MESSAGES/pulseaudio.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/tmp/pulse-nuage", 0x7fff5e652b10) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/home/nuage/.pulse/client.conf", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/tmp/pulse-nuage", 0x7fff5e652c10) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/alsa-utils.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/alsa-utils.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/locale-langpack/en/LC_MESSAGES/alsa-utils.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) Also the config details: $ cat /proc/asound/{version,cards,devices,hwdep,pcm,seq/clients}; Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24. 0 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7e10000 irq 48 1: : sequencer 2: [ 0- 3]: digital audio playback 3: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback 4: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture 5: [ 0- 3]: hardware dependent 6: [ 0- 0]: hardware dependent 7: [ 0] : control 33: : timer 00-03: HDA Codec 3 00-00: HDA Codec 0 00-00: ALC270 Analog : ALC270 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1 00-03: HDMI 0 : HDMI 0 : playback 1 Client info cur clients : 1 peak clients : 1 max clients : 192 Client 0 : "System" [Kernel] Port 0 : "Timer" (Rwe-) Port 1 : "Announce" (R-e-) Client 14 : "Midi Through" [Kernel] Port 0 : "Midi Through Port-0" (RWe-) Any help is greatly apreciated, thank you!
