Acer Aspire 4530 headphones do not work when plugged in, also doesn't mute speakers

[Asif Youssuff]

This has never worked properly for me.

Here is the output of my alsa-info.sh:

I'd be happy to help test or provide any new information!

Installed a fresh copy of Jaunty beta on my machine, with no updates except for the installation of the nvidia driver.

Fresh alsa-info.sh output here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=03d229143b86b0328b0e3ece8426099e5348dc53

To make sound come out of the headphones, I must go into gnome-volume-control and unmute "Surround" (this has to first be added via Preferences > check the Surround box).

To turn off the internal speakers, I have to mute "Front" in gnome-volume-control.

The "Headphone" checkbox in the "Switches" tab has no effect on headphone playback.

I'd be happy to do whatever needs to be done to resolve this issue, thanks!

Confirmed on Jaunty beta install, was using updated alphas before.

I have the same issue (and same steps solved it, thanks Youssuff) on Asus 2930.

Please solve this issue, it's really annoying to search the web for hours to find a workaround.

Thanks Asif, your steps sure provide a temporary solution. Have been struggling for the past hour on this. I have the Acer aspire 4530-6823.

Everyone,

Have you search in ubuntu forum?

The workaround is simple.

Just add "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" to alsa-base.conf and restart.

Tip of Dhanar did not work for me.

Remy,

Is your Aspire 4530 has the same specs as mine?

Here is mine: http://www.acer.com.my/acer/seu30e.do?LanguageISOCtxParam=en&link=ln374e&CountryISOCtxParam=MY&acond125e=47051&kcond48e.c2att101=47051&sp=page17e&ctx1g.c2att92=859&ctx2.c2att1=177&ctx1.att21k=1&CRC=1439446478

What is yours?

And your BIOS version?

Running the karmic alpha now, this bug is still present.

[Asif Youssuff (yoasif)]

Still an issue with a fully updated karmic install. Any PPA for ALSA that I should try out?

[Asif Youssuff (yoasif)]

This is fixed as of today.
