speaker and heaphone on at the same time

Hello

On my hp pavilion dv6 2300, speaker and headphone work at the same time.
I solved it in ubuntu with this adding two lines to: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
options snd_hda_intel model=hp-dv5

now what can i do in arch?
thank you.

Re: speaker and heaphone on at the same time

Have you tried doing it the same way?

Re: speaker and heaphone on at the same time

Take a look at the kernel code:

/usr/src/linux/sound$ find -type f | xargs grep -i dv6
...
./pci/hda/patch_conexant.c:    [CXT5051_HP_DV6736]    = "hp-dv6736",

So I would try model=hp-dv6736

Be aware that Ubuntu adds lots of ALSA patches, as well as being based off alsa-driver rather than the in-kernel ALSA - try installing alsa-driver.

I have tried "hp-dv6736", but same problem.

What you mean by installing alsa-driver?

Thanks

Re: speaker and heaphone on at the same time

I can just recommend you to read "/usr/src/linux-*/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt" (comes with the kernel docs), there are various configuration details explained, especially there is a section

Speaker and Headphone Output
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the most frequent (and obvious) bugs with HD-audio is the
silent output from either or both of a built-in speaker and a
headphone jack...

To get a "list" of available kernel parameters make a

modinfo MUDULNAME

and see if you find an option that might help you. Most of the options are also documented in the kernel docs.

Btw. I assume that brebs meant this driver package.
