HP laptop w/ hda-intel - headphones/speaker problem.
So ive done a ton of reading about this and have not yet solved the problem.
sound works but the headphone jack doesnt defeat the speakers. "jack sense" is not available in the mixer. here is a ton of info about my system and alsa: !!################################ !!ALSA Information Script v 0.4.34 !!################################ !!Script ran on: Tue Nov 13 18:52:37 EST 2007 !!Linux Distribution !!------------------ Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 !!Kernel Information !!------------------ Kernel release: 2.6.23.1-flx3 Operating System: GNU/Linux Architecture: x86_64 Processor: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 TL-58 SMP Enabled: Yes !!ALSA Version !!------------ Driver version: 1.0.14 Library version: 1.0.15 Utilities version: 1.0.15 !!Loaded ALSA modules !!------------------- snd_hda_intel !!Soundcards recognised by ALSA !!----------------------------- 0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel -

Hi ocularb0b, Welcome to lq. Do you have an "External Amplifier" option in your mixer? What model laptop do you have?
Good luck. ;-) |
I have an HP dv2620us its an AMD64 machine with Nvidia HD audio. The only output channels are "Master" and "PCM".
Other things that seem not to work for others are working fine for me, like Built-in mic and line-in. Thanks |
Only two suggestions really, you could try upgrading the alsa drivers to the latest version, you can take a look here. There are some work-arounds or options you can add as mention in the link I posted.
Good luck. ;-) |
Hey thanks for your replies. I've tried using the alsa drivers in portage instead of the ones in the kernel, and I even tried the dev-snapshot drivers from the alsa servers.
I think that the hda-intel driver is still a bit new and not detecting like it will be after more time. I'm going to try using asoundrc to force things to be set up better, but chances are this will get fixed only with a future version of the driver. If i have any success i'll post in the HCL. Thanks again |
You're welcome, sorry to be no more help. A .asoundrc might do the trick since everything else is working.
good luck. ;-) |
for anybody that might read this in the future, i've solved the problem.
I think that this will work on most AMD based hp dv2xxx laptops. If you have alsa installed you can run "alsamixer" to see what chipset your machine uses. It will be listed in the upper left. Mine says "Conexant CX20549 (Venice)" The snd-hda-intel driver does not automatically set the correct driver options, sound will work fine but the headphone jack will not disable the speakers when in use. To solve the problem you must set the "model" to "laptop" when the driver is loaded: on gentoo: #echo "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop" >> /etc/modules.d/alsa relpace "/etc/modules.d/alsa" as needed by your distro If your machine is using a different chipset as reported by "alsamixer" you made need different/additional options. hope this helps |
