Testing Ubuntu ppa 1.0.25

[Shanekpiper]

I had an issue with alsa 1.0.24 and ubuntu 12.04. So I added the ppa, but i still have an issue where I get sound from my headphones and not my speakers. It is as though the Audio Connector is not detecting the jack when plugged in/out.

I can confirm this was working well with Ubuntu 11.10

I filed a bug here, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/927704 thinking it had something to do with pulseaudio though now I believe its todo with alsa.

I run the following command and restarted my computer as headphones for output was not an option before I added the following:
echo "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Headphones is now available as an output on my Acer Aspire 8930g, but with no speaker sound.

Before I added the above option, if the headphones where not plugged in I would get speaker sound and when I plugged in the headphones the speaker sound would not mute. If the headphones where plugged in on boot, I would have sound in headphones but when unplugged no sound in speakers.

I can clearly see here that the jack plug detection is not working.
