Could you please be more specific in regards to headphones and HDMI not working? When you connect headphones, do the internal speakers get disabled, do you only hear audio from one headphone?

As to HDMI, did you try going into the volume control preferences and selecting the HDMI output from the audio profile dropdown list?

[timuckun (timuckun)]

When I plug in the headphone the internal speakers mute but no sound comes out of the headphone. I can select "analog output" from the sound prefs but it makes no difference. Still no sound.

When I plug in the HDMI nothing happens. The sound continues through the laptop speakers but not through the HDMI.

If I manually select the HDMI from the sound prefs the laptop speakers mute but no sound comes through the HDMI device.

If I plug in a USB headset and select the USB device on the prefs everything works as expected.

The only solution to make microphone work is to install linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic...

Just go to:

Menu / System / Administration / Synaptic Package Manager

And search and mark for installation:

linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic

tip: if you have multiple versions click on the first and read the description which should inform what name to install...

If after the reboot and mic mute is off, still does not work, just go to terminal and type:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

and add or change the following:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto enable=yes

Then Ctrl+X, type Y to write and exit, reboot and mic will work.

Bye and have lots of fun with Ubuntu (the best).
