I have strange problem with sound on my Debian wheezy powered notebook. Sound is not playing through jack output, but speakers are working just OK.

lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)


cat /proc/asound/card0/codec* | grep Codec
Codec: IDT 92HD75B3X5
Codec: LSI ID 104


    aplay -l

My ~/.acoundrc

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}
ctl.!default {
    type hw

}

A have checked if Headphone output is not muted in alsamixer too.

Is there a possibility to automatically switch to JACK when headphones is connected? It worked on Ubuntu 12.04.

    Does it work if you connect external speakers instead? I assume you've tested that the headphones work right? Are you using alsa or pulseaudio? Check the sound options in pavucontrol if the latter.

  • Yes I have tested external speakers instead with no success. I tried pavucontrol too, but only internal speakers are working.

  • OK, just a shot in the dark here but these are the sound related modules currently running on my Debian : snd,snd_pcm,snd_hwdep,snd_usbmidi_lib,snd_usb_audio try loading (modprobe) each of them just in case that makes a difference.

I had the same problem with Wheezy on an eeepc. It turned out to be a configuration problem. This is how I solved it:

  1. Open alsamixer in a terminal
  2. Press F6: select sound card. I had two choices: a) default b) HDA Intel. Highlight HDA Intel and press enter
  3. More configuration options should now be available in alsamixer
  4. Press the right-arrow key until you find an option named auto-mute
  5. Enable auto-mute

Hope it helps
