Headphone jack sense not working on HDA ATI SB

[fide]

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to make headphone jack sense work on my notebook Asus X5DAB , LinuxMint 12, with gnome3 .
I'd just like the notebook loudspeakers to mute automatically (or at least, i'd like to manage to do it manually!) when i connect headphones to the sound output .
Pulseaudio settings do not seem to work correctly - it in the "output" tab of the pulseaudio settings i set either "Analog connector" or "Analog Output" there's no difference - the audio keeps going out from both loudspeakers and headphones.
I tried to mute/unmute/change volumes in alsamixer .. no luck.
I tried to add several different card models in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf snd-hda-intel model settings .. no luck.
I can see CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_JACK=y is enabled in /boot/config-3.0.0-12-generic .

Any help is very appreciated. Thank you.

If it can be useful for anybody with my same notebook/soundcard, I managed to find a temporary workaround using the script http://www.alsa-project.org/hda-analyzer.py : running it, i can disable the internal speakers (and only the speakers, not the analog output) clicking on card-0 , codec-0 , Node[0x1c] PIN and muting Val[0] and Val[1]. Anyway, i cannot manage to save it after reboots without doing the whole procedure again.

I've just noticed this problem. This could be a bug. My audio card is supported under Ubuntu as I had no problems with that distro.

Which Ubuntu version did you use, when it worked well?

Please post the output of:

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec* | grep Codec

[fide]

In my case:
Codec: VIA VT1708S

With LinuxMint11, i could mute/unmute the loudspeakers using alsamixer on the "Front" channel. Now it doesn't work anymore - if i mute that channel, everything gets muted, including analog output.
Thanks

For me it was from Jaunty - iirc.

@ kabads: please open a seperate topic.

@ fide: I don't know what to do with this. There aren't any model settings for a VIA codec. They should just work.

I've had a very similar notebook, an Asus K51AC with the same chipset, cpu, Audio controller ...

My problems vanished the moment I uninstalled pulseaudio to use pure ALSA.

Hithere. I had the same problem on a HP nx8220 running LMDE with the n6 pack upgrade. Just installed the gnome alsa mixer, activated the corresponding button (headphone lack sense) and al set! Can hear sound only through headphones when they are plugped in. Hope it helps.
Best.
