Audio input / output problems.

[Domel]

Binary package hint: alsa-base

My original problem was with the microphone not working on my laptop. I do not have a build in microphone so I have to plug in en external one to a 3.5mm jack. In the sound preferences in the Input tab i had Mic1, Mic2, and In line options available but non of them worked. After doing some research I found out that adding "model=auto" to the last line of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf fixed the microphone problem, but now my audio output goes out to both built in speakers and headphones (when plugged in) at the same time. It does not switch between two of them when i plug in or unplug the headphones.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 64bit on a MSI bare-bone laptop (hence exact model number is unknown).

Hi. Can you please remove the model quirk you have entered into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (i.e. remove the "model=auto" line) & install the "linux-backports-module-alsa-generic" package, then reboot & try testing again. If that doesn't resolve your issue, please see below on how to submit more information to help resolve your problem.
