I can't get sound through headphone port on laptop.
I use HP Compaq 6730b with Linux Debian Squeeze on board.
On Windows 7 (another PC) headphones work normally.
Internal laptop speakers also work normally.
Simple OS reboot doesn't help.
alsamixer
has no any options for headphones.
Things I've tried:
First I've got my sound card model:
# cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* | grep -i codec
Codec: Analog Devices AD1984A
Codec: LSI ID 1040
After that in file /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz
I find
below lines for my card:
AD1884A / AD1883 / AD1984A / AD1984B

desktop 3-stack desktop (default)
laptop laptop with HP jack sensing
mobile mobile devices with HP jack sensing
thinkpad Lenovo Thinkpad X300

I've added line options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
at the end of the file
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
and restarted alsa:
# alsa force-reload

I've tried this with all possible options from file HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz
, but headphones still
don't work.
I'm afraid that headphone jack could be broken, but still hope it is just software problem.
Thanks in advance for help.
Short system information:
# cat /proc/version

Edited:
I have checked jack on laptop using Ubuntu Live CD and after that headphones have started working. I can't explain this. Possibly I changed something more, but I don't know, what exactly.

.m
in alsamixer changes behavior of internal speakers, but doesn't affects on headphones.
