[Solved] Intel HDA - No sound at all through headphones

I am getting no sound through the headphones at all. I'm using snd-hda-intel. This is the sound card from lspci:

Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

I am on a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4727. I have tried muting the speaker channel and turning all the channels up. I tried using asoundconf. No luck. I just can't seem to get any sound through the headphones.

All I can suggest is giving us your amixer output.

Re: [Solved] Intel HDA - No sound at all through headphones

Shouldn't it say [on] instead of [off]? Have you unmuted the headphone output?

I did have it unmuted, I remuted it when I was done tinkering though.

Re: [Solved] Intel HDA - No sound at all through headphones

@ linkmaster: You have to configure the proper model for the snd-hda-intel module. More information about that (eg. what models exists and so on) you can find here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p= … ostcount=2

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask...

Perhaps one thing... You need to add the option in the modprobe.conf file (located at /etc/modprobe.conf). For example (that's my related config, but will not work for your toshiba laptop -> the only thing you have to change is the "clevo-m720" part):
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=clevo-m720

Greetings,

Re: [Solved] Intel HDA - No sound at all through headphones

Wow, thank you so much! The 'lenovo' model ended up working perfectly, with jack sense and all! I thought there was no hope, because I had tried all the models on Ubuntu already. Arch for life.

For those who have the same problem, this is my /etc/modprobe.conf:

#
# /etc/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#

# disable autoload of ipv6
alias net-pf-10 off

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo
