No Sound From Headphones - ASUS K42JV

[tmokeefe]

System: ASUS K42JV
OS: Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit

When I plug in headphones, the built-in speakers do not shut off and I hear no audio from the headphones jack.

I will attempt to run:

apport-collect -p alsa-base <number>

Once I have filed this bug.

Please let me know what else you may need to troubleshoot this issue.

Hi tmokeefe and thanks for reporting this bug! Could you try the following: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules and report back if it solves your problem or not?

[tmokeefe (timothy-okeefe)]

I followed the instructions from the URL, rebooted the machine and unfortunately this did not fix the issue.

The behavior remains that when I plug in a pair of headphones, sound only comes out through the built-in speakers and no sound comes out through the headphones.

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

As a coincidence, I believe this has been fixed today. Could you try installing http://people.canonical.com/~diwic/temp/alsa-intel-hda-optiplex-dkms_1.0.23_all.deb (first uninstall the drivers you installed yesterday), reboot, and see if it helps?

[tmokeefe (timothy-okeefe)]

Sound is now coming out through the headphones, however the internal speakers are not disabled when headphones are plugged in. Promising :)

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

No, since it is coded as a line-out and not a headphone-out, instead you have separate volumes for speaker and line-out.

[tmokeefe (timothy-okeefe)]

Should I file a different bug since the internal speakers are not disabled when headphones are plugged in? Are you suggesting that is a feature?

Not sure what to do at this point or perhaps I misunderstood your last message.

[Dave Bekker (phyrexicaid-gmail)]

Patch by David Henningson works for me.

You need to set Sound preferences -> Output -> Connector to Analog Headphones, and then speakers are disabled.

Yes it's a little manual, but better than nothing. Thanks for the patch.

[tmokeefe (timothy-okeefe)]

I consider this bug partially fixed. When you plug headphones into any other device on earth, sound does not come out of both the headphones and the built-in speakers. The built-in speakers are usually disabled and re-enabled when headphones are removed.

[tmokeefe (timothy-okeefe)]

Also, yes, I do appreciate the patch.

hi there,
on debian squeeze(testing) same issue here.
sysinfos: asus k42jv, 2.6.32 amd64 kernel, 1.0.23 alsa., codec ALC259

i found out that you have to make following changes with hda analyzer
to mute notebook speakers and get headphone sound:
 - Node[0x14] PIN -> Val[0] + Val[1] -> mute
 - Node[0x1a] PIN -> Connection List -> Audio Mixer [0x0c]

0x14 is the speakers trigger and 0x1a
for headphones.

is there a way to apply these changes script based on system boot?

[Robert Jobbagy (jobbagy-robert)]

I have ASUS K42Jv laptop too.

I use Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit and I made update (on 2.6.35-25 kernel version) and now no sound from speakers and headphone
my kernels:
2.6.35-22
2.6.35-24
2.6.35-25

I tried update alsa from src but It isnt help ( in earlier ubuntu version it was help with my earlier laptop)
I tried some workaround from ubuntu and other forums but no fix this issues.
I tried all of modify on /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf from others forums.
I tried resintall kernel, and reinstall alsa driver module.
I removed pulseaudio.

philbert (2010-09-01, comment #20) appears to offer a solution (tested on EL5/EL6 Redhat/Centos/SL):

First, download and run the HDA Analyser from http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/HDA_Analyzer. For example;
wget -O run.py http://www.alsa-project.org/hda-analyzer.py
su root
python run.py (this will download and save the necessary files, including hda_analyser.py, to /tmp/hda_analyser/)

> - Node[0x14] PIN -> Val[0] + Val[1] -> mute
> - Node[0x1a] PIN -> Connection List -> Audio Mixer [0x0c]

> 0x14 is the speakers trigger and 0x1a for headphones.
