[SOLVED] No sound on laptop speakers, but headphones working properly

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with sound on my laptop. My laptop speakers doesn't work, but if I connect my headphones to the 3.5mm jack, headphones sound correctly. I managed a few days ago to fix this issue, but after a few days without problems, it stopped working.

$ lspci -v | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)

$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC280 Analog [ALC280 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Thanks in advance.

How exactly did you fix it and what happened to break it?

Using the options of the snd-hda-intel driver may fix it: http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title … ound_Cards

Well I simply removed /var/lib/alsa/asound.state, and rebooted. Then the sound started working. Then I used a live-cd distro that I'm testing for my University, and when I rebooted the next time, the sound didn't work.

I haven't had time to try it. This morning, started working without doing anything... there must be trolls inside my laptop. I hope this time will continue working indefinitely.

Thanks a lot for answering.

EDIT: Yesterday before shuting down my laptop I returned the configuration I had changed to its original state, so that could be the change that made my speakers work again this morning.
