Sorry about this, but I'm a real newbie and finally found a Linux distro that I both like the look of and that works - except for the headphones.

I bought a brand new Acer4310 to experiment with and the headphone jack worked with almost all the other distros I tried.

I'd like to try 'putting model=acer on alsa-base' to see if it sorts the problem - but I have no idea how to access alsa-base.

Basic instructions please?

HI

Thanks for the info!! Unfortunately, I can't seem to make it work on my machine. I'm pretty new at this stuff so I don't know what went wrong.

I got a name from step 1 ("Intel") and I was able to open the alse-base file. Its the editing part I'm not sure of. This is what I added:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

Anything missing? Is there an alternative method to do this?

Hello everyone,

I had the same problem with my laptop (3 years-old HP-Compaq NC6120 with an Intel ICH6), the solution I found is fairly simple:

Just double click on the Volume Control (the speaker at the bottom right of your screen) and go to the 'Switches' tab. There, make sure the Headphone Jack Sense is ticked. That did the trick for me...

Hope that helps^^

'Fraid not. There was no''switches' tab. On the other hand I discovered that a right click would allow me to mute.
