Hi Jo and thanks for your bug report.

According to your BIOS, node 0x1b is your headphone output but the driver thinks it is at 0x19. Could you please try the following:

Edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add this line:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

Save and reboot. Let me know if this solves the problem for you. Thanks!

I'm very sorry for the late late late reply but - thanks for the fix!!!

[Jo (judas-130)]

I used a test track by the band Meshuggah. honestly jumped so high in the air in shock... thanks again

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

Ok, thanks for reporting back! I'll send a patch upstream to make model=auto the default.

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

Upstream accepted patch.

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

Should be in both oneiric and natty-updates by now.
