[Conexant CX20585] Headphone jack doesn't work

[Martin Eve]

Toshiba Satellite C650D. Headphone Jack has no playback and doesn't mute speaker.

Solution is to add options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Do playback and capture work completely when you use the model quirk? I.e., do speakers automute when headphones are inserted, and do the mics capture successfully?

Hi Daniel,

When using the model quirk the speakers mute and the headphones play. I haven't been able to test Microphone recording.

This is already resolved in Natty. Furthermore, you can use a daily build of the sound driver; please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules.

I configured Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick 64-bit on a Toshiba Satellite L655-S5115 laptop with Conexant CX20585 audio for a friend. In addition to the headphone jack not working, the built-in microphone and microphone jack did not work. Upgrading to the alsa daily build did not fix everything. I tried the Natty 64-bit alpha1 and the same problems persist. Using the model=ideapad work-around fixed the headphone jack and built-in mic, but not the microphone jack.

Fortunately, I was able to get all the audio issues fixed by adding "options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

(Apparently someone with an L650 successfully used model=dell-vostro, but I did not confirm this on the L655.)

I hope this helps!

My solution was to add

options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad

to alsa-base.conf

I have an Acer TravelMate 8572T with Conexant CX20585.
