Title:
  [No sound in earphones (front) but I can hear using Win7 (dual boot)

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  since installing Ubuntu 11.10 in a 2nd HDD I don't get any sound thru the earphones, I don't use speakers
  in alsamixer it shows the headphone column  in grey and I cannot change it
  I have sent this(see below) to ubuntuforums got no response

  I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 in a dual boot with 2 HDD, the first has Win 7, the 2nd Ubuntu OS. I only use earphones and they work with Win 7 but not with 11.10.
  I tried the System Settings>Sound>Hardware -- but
  no earphones are displayed. none of the options:
  Off,...,analog stereo output , etc produce any sound, the volume is turned to Max, but running the test (speakers) give no sound. I tried alsamixer the earphones are greyed out and show oo at the bottom, also tried the Sound Troubleshooting Procedures that show the Driver, Library, & Utilities correctly

  the following commands produced the following results (not all of it shown)
  cat /proc/asound/modules
  0  snd_hda_intel

  cat /proc/asound/cards
  0  [Intel    ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                     HDA Intel at 0xfdff8000 irq 43
  The soundcard is recognized as HDA Intel. What else can I do?
  I'll appreciate ur help
