ALC665 No Sound Through Speakers, Works With Headphones

My laptop is a Dell/Alienware M11X (R1), and I'm having one hell of a time getting any audio despite the Wiki entry which states that the sound should work out of the box.  I've gone through the ALSA wiki entry to no avail, and I've also done quite a bit of searching both here and elsewhere around the Internet.  The few threads I've found that seem to describe my exact issue don't appear to have a resolution.

Note: the issue *is* with a laptop but it also seems to be Kernel/Hardware-related, and though I'm new to Arch I'm not new to Linux.  Apologies if I've dropped this thread in the wrong spot.

(hopefully) Relevant Information:

I've tried reloading the snd_hda_intel module with different models enabled (3stack and a few others based upon best-guesses from this, but it doesn't seem to call out the ALC665 so I'm not exactly sure what to try) but haven't had much luck there either.

So far, nothing I have tried has yielded any sound output with speaker-test or any other audio source.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
John

Re: ALC665 No Sound Through Speakers, Works With Headphones

I also had same troubles and command "alsactl init" was solution, try it.
Not same card, but might work.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I had tried that previously (as a part of the Troubleshooting portion of the ALSA wiki page), but I gave it another go just in case:

jbowdre@GryHvns ~ $ alsactl init                                                                                                                                   
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Realtek ALC665" "HDA:10ec0665,10280443,00100003" "0x1028" "0x0443"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method
jbowdre@GryHvns ~ :( $ 

At any rate, no change either with speaker-test or any other audio sources.

Also, audio works through headphones, just not through the speakers.  Maybe it's not correctly detecting whether or not the jack is plugged? pavucontrol correctly swaps inputs based on whether or not the phones are in the jack, so that's not it.  Any other guesses?

Cheers,
John

I also ran the alsa-info.sh script; output can be found here.
