Raymond, below some answers: * do your computer chassis have hda front audio panel with Jack detection ?
The computer chassis does have front audio panel, I'm not sure how to check "visually" if it has Jack detection or not. The chassis is exactly this one: http://www.sentey.com/en_productos_details.php?tipo=Gabinetes&ctg=Professional%20Series&prod=ps2-3270 * do your BIOS have any option to set front audio panel type :hda or AC97? Will check next time I reboot; motherboard is Intel DP55WG (perhaps that answers your question?) In any case, is worth noting that audio playback works perfectly both in the headset using the front audio connectot and in the speakers plugged in the rear audio output (they work perfectly *at the same time*, until they both stop working altogether). I have also tried unplugging one of each at a time (ie have only headset, have only speakers). This does not look like a hardware issue, since audio works for some random amount of time after a reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201528 Title: [Realtek ALC889] - Audio Playback Unavailable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1201528/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
