Bug Description

Now running 13.04 neither headphone jack functions. Inserting headphones to either port mutes the computer speakers and audio over hdmi work. Issue is limited to the headphone jacks. These worked in 12.10 before the upgrade. I'm not sure if they ever worked on 13.04 as I just tried them recently.

The sound is not muted nor turned down. I have checked the master sound volumes and nothing added sound.

There is a strange behavior difference between inserting the headphone and removing in Chrome vs Firefox.

Chrome:
Insert headphone: sound disappears from main speakers (as expected), but no sound from headphones - volume level indicator stays at 100% when trying to turn up the volume (as expected)
Remove headphone: sound return to main speakers at 100%

Firefox:
Insert headphones: sound disappears from main speakers (as expected), but no sound from headphones - volume level sometimes will change sometimes stays the same.

Remove headphone: sound does not return to main speakers - sometimes 0% sound level sometimes muted or never returns until Firefox is closed.

There is no linux-image-extras package and you loose the wifi so it's not for daily use but it fixes the headphone issue. Is it going to be backported or do we have to wait to 13.10 to have it fixed?

For those who may have upgraded from a previous release, one (maybe obvious) workaround is to boot from your previous kernel (3.5 series for ubuntu 12.10). The bootsplash will be a blank screen, but both networking and sound will work correctly.

Paste this as a new line to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

options snd-hda-intel model=ref

The headphone jacks will work after reboot.

There are a few other tweaks for the hp dv6 is this post:

kernel 3.9 solves the problem. By using 3.8.0-22 the Audio setting page is showing two devices instead of the one Speakers - Internal audio

suggestion #9 solves partially the problem because introduces others. I try to explain what happens in the Output audio page :

kernel 3.8.0-22:
Devices: Speakers + Analog output (no Headphone when they are connected. To make it work I have to unmute the speaker through alsamixer)

kernel 3.8.0-22+#9:
Devices: Digital output(S/PIDF) + Analog output + Headphone if they are connected. The fix solves the headphone problem but the volume is low I think because the output is Analog output and no output at all for Digital output(S/PIDF). Sometimes the system boop up without audio because the digital audio is selected.

kernel 3.9.2/4
Devices: Speaker (every thing is working fine and is the one I will continue to use waiting for a bug fixing)

Still same issue for me, just upgraded today. Speakers on laptop are working fine but when headphones are connected, the sound continues to play through the laptop speakers instead of headphones.

At the current time in development testing of ubuntu 13.10 the audio system works, but at the time of the upgrade the audio function was still broken in 13.04 with the mainstream patches.

did pulseaudio mute speaker playback volume(0x13 and 0x14) when headphone is plugged since headphone is also connected to 0x13 ?
