[SOLVED] x120e no sound through headphones, fine through speaker

wilson47 · 11-28-2011, 11:07 PM

I'm setting up Slackware 13.37 on a Lenovo x120e. I've ran into plenty of problems so far, and my next challenge is the audio. So far I have managed to get it to work through the built-in speakers. But when I plug in headphones, sound just continues to come out of the speakers. I tried adding in different options for alsaconf, but that didn't seem to work. Does anybody have any ideas?

output of lspci -v | grep Audio

Code:

Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Device 1314

I did run alsaconf to get my speakers to work properly. Perhaps there is some driver issue?

So I think I somehow got it to work. I uninstalled alsa-lib using the slackpkg tool, then I installed alsa-lib and alsa-driver from the alsa website. Without running alsaconf or anything, I rebooted my machine and everything works fine. You even get a nifty little beep!

The sound card alsamixer tells me it is using is: HDA ATI SB with Chip: Conexant CX20582 (Pebble). I also have a modified .asoundrc whose contents can be found in my other thread on setting up x120e with slackware 13.37.

Edit: So the above worked at first. Then after a reboot, the sound went all screwy. I then blacklisted a bunch of drivers and got it to work. I'm sure there is a better way to do this, but here is what I added to /etc/modprobe.b/blacklist.conf

Code:

blacklist snd_hwdep
blacklist snd_pcsp
blacklist snd_seq_dummy
blacklist snd_seq_oss
blacklist snd_seq
blacklist snd_seq_device
blacklist snd_pcm_oss
blacklist snd_mixer_oss
blacklist snd_hda_intel
blacklist snd_hda_codec
blacklist snd_timer

can you post the sound specs of the laptop pls

I assume you have a jack for speakers and a separate jack for headphone.

but sometimes they share one of those jacks or stacks with input device like a mic because they may have only 3 jacks.

better still give us an image of running alsamixer after running the command

Code:

alsamixer -V all

forgive me if you have solved it ...edit your first to solved if so
