Sound hears from laptop speakers but when i'm connecting my headphones, speakers don't stop !!!

[overlord]

This is a f*c*ing nightmare bug!!! This post is for all users who had this problem and tried to solve it on their own ;)

Preview: I have a laptop computer HP Compaq nx6325 (owners know ;) )

Step 1: Power up my pc, boot in Ubuntu 9.04.(2.6.28-15), headphones jack IS NOT plugged in, in hear the login sound in pc speakers. Start rhythmbox player, play a song, works fine. !! NOW, when i plug in my headphones sound hearing from them but still hearing from pc speakers too !! No possible mixer setting or else would make pc speakers shut down, only the mute setting which mutes all sound.

Step 2: Reboot, boot in Ubuntu 9.04.(2.6.28-15), headphones jack IS plugged in this time, i hear the login sound in my headphones and this time not in pc speakers (which is good). Start rhythmbox player, play a song, it hears from headphones (from speakers hears nothing). So far so good. !! I've plugged out the headphones but nothing happened, no sound from speakers as expected... :-s !! Again, no mixer setting or else would make pc speakers turn on, nothing at all.

NOTE: I'VE TRIED ANY POSSIBLE DEBUGING: MIXER SETTING, INSTALLING NEW ALSA DRIVERS, NOOB ADVICES, ALL. NOTING WORKED.

ATTENTION: The following fix was tested by me only on my laptop so far, so if you want this to work for you too you must make the required adjustments. You can consider this link as a good help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=806620 (didn't worked for me.. :( )

Fix : After long time browsing the web i've finally found the solution.

 - browse into file system to /etc/modprobe.d/ like this: "cd /etc/modprobe.d/"
 - then : "ls" -> you should have "alsa-base.conf" file there
 - next do: "sudo gedit alsa-base.conf" and you will have write access now to that file.
 - go to the bottom of the file and add the following line: "options snd-hda-intel model=hp position_fix=1 enable=yes"
 - save the file.
 - reboot your pc

Now, you may choose to boot Ubuntu with or without the headphones plugged in, when you'll plug in/out the headphones speakers will work as they should.

overlord, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Jaunty reached EOL on October 23, 2010.
Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

We were wondering if this is still an issue on a supported release? If so, can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in a supported release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
