Bug Description

I have an Asus A52J laptop and it's got several problems. On Lucid Lynx, the headphones worked, but they didn't mute the speakers. Now, on Maverick, the headphones don't work, nor do they mute the speakers. I have a dual boot into Windows, and there, the headphones work as expected.

alsa-oss is on version 1.0.17-4 and alsa-base is on 1.0.23+dfsg-1ubuntu4

(Just a note: the alsa-oss package is irrelevant to your symptom.)

Is the symptom reproducible after following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules?

Can you try model=hp-laptop, please (as so)?

options snd-hda-intel model=hp-laptop

should be appended to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, and you should reboot.

It works!

What's next? Shall I keep the configuration when the official fix comes out?

I've pushed a patch for this issue to the kernel subsystem maintainer, and it should be applied "shortly." Someone will probably follow up shortly to confirm after it has been applied in an upstream kernel and is available (upstream, and separately, in an Ubuntu kernel update).

The abovementioned patch has been included upstream in kernel 2.6.37 and in kernel 2.6.36.2. PPAs of these kernels are available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed' to 'verification-done'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

I have tested the proposed patch, and it works. I have even commented out the

options snd-hda-intel model=hp-laptop

line, and it still works.

I don't see how I can change the verification-needed tag, though. Can you do it for me?
