No sound from headphone jack or input from microphone with HDA Intel in Toshiba L635

[Mario Garza]

I'm using a Toshiba L635-SP3006M with Ubuntu 10.10. When I connect headphones to it, sound still comes from the integrated speakers, and no sound comes from the headphones. Furthermore, I have been unsuccessful on recording through the integrated microphone and also by plugging in an external microphone.

Alsamixer says the card is an HDA Intel with an Intel IbexPeak HDMI chip.

I'm not sure whether to file a new bug or not. My problem is basically the same, only on an ASUS K52JK notebook. My headphones are not being detected at all.

@Lakatosi Always file a new bug if in doubt.

I think I have the same config.

Try installing the last version of alsa from the daily ppa.

It worked perfectly for me. (Althought I just tested the laptop speaker and the headphone jack).

You can find instructions here:

Reply saying if it worked for you.

Hi Onilton Maciel,

Your method worked for me.

Thanks
