No headphone jack output on T400s

[William Bohn]

Sound out of speakers works fine.
When plugging in headphones into the headphone jack, no sound comes out of the speakers (as expected) but then no sound comes out of the headphones (not expected).

I think this only affects me on the newer kernel. Using the older, supported Lucid kernel seems to work, so I've marked this as "invalid."

[alien8 (fb-alien8)]

That will affect Ubuntu 10.10. I had the same problem while testing the latest beta.

Please try to load the sound module like that: snd-hda-intel model="ideapad"
Or, just create a file named something like /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-intel.conf and put the line

options snd-hda-intel model="ideapad"

I bisected that issue and found out that git commit 7b2bfdb kind of broke it.

I just reported this issue upstream to the linux-kernel and alsa-devel mailing lists. I don't expect Canonical to fix this issue.

To me the bug is very valid. ;)

[alien8 (fb-alien8)]

Sorry, forgot to mention the internal mic doesn't work as well.

[alien8 (fb-alien8)]

It's better to add model="thinkpad". The bug is reported to be fixed in the sound git tree.

[William Bohn (shambler)]

Thanks alien8. Yeah, I was having that problem upstream. Things seem to be working with the Ubuntu kernels, though.

[alien8 (fb-alien8)]

With or without the model="thinkpad" parameter? I had this problem even with the Maverick beta.

Takashi Iwai fixed that problem in the sound git tree commit id 4d15564. Took 'em one day. I assume that will go into 2.6.36 and I hope Canonical adds this one-liner to their Maverick kernel too.

I add the patch here:

That patch should certainly make it into maverick, if not by the final release, then certainly within a month or so of the final release.

Thanks Luke,

It's also in the 2.6.35-stable git tree:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=commit;h=1f5f58d3c1a52f9f4e9ea7a30207a4927cfe6bbd

Just for the records: It's in LK 2.6.35.5

[inode77 (simon-gerber)]

Is there a ETA for .5 patch availability in maverick?

Other than add the patch and compile manually, there's no way around this issue right?

[Bernd Petersohn (bernd-petersohn)]

@inode77: The workaround alien8 gave in #3 and #5 works in Maverick. Just create a file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-intel.conf with the content 'options snd-hda-intel model="thinkpad"' and restart the system. Headphones and internal microphones are then working again.

[Mathieu Simon (mathieu-simon)]

Well, to report: The described module configuration fixes the problem.

Still it's not that great to still see it in both maverick.
I didn't realize it since i passed from 9.10 to a fresh install of 10.10 amd64 on my main machine.
Hope a proper fix get's released soon.

[Student (ein-student)]

I had the same problem, doing a fresh install of 10.10 amd64 (keeping /home partition).
The described fix helped.

[Julian Wiedmann (jwiedmann)]

William,
the patch ("ALSA: hda - Add quirk for Lenovo T400s") landed in Maverick with 2.6.35-23.40 - is this still an issue?

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

No reply from reporter, others say fixed so closing now.
