[Fixed]EeePC 904HA Sound Problem

Hi,

I am having a sound issue with my Eee that only occurs when I run Linux. Windows is totally fine, but I wiped Windows a little while ago. The laptop will play sound perfectly fine from its speakers, but anything plugged into the headphone jack is bound with large amounts of static-like noise. I am running Arch with all updates, and I am using ALSA.


Here is the output from lspci -v:

One thing that I notice is that a bunch of devices have the same IRQ. I heard that this causes conflicts. Could this be fixed?

Update: The issue was with hardware. After an RMA, ASUS has fixed it.
