Kernel 2.6.25 messed up my sound

Ever since I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.25 my headphone sound has been messed up. My audio out port now only sends sound through my headphones when it is partially plugged into it. I can't fully plug in my audio jack now, there is a "sweet spot" so to speak of just almost in that lets me hear sound out of my heaphones. I've tested this on many different headphones and always come up the same and I'm sure it worked just fine on kernel 2.6.24. Any suggestions to get it to work?

Here's my audio device: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

edit: I guess if all else fails, is there someway to downgrade my kernel back to 2.6.24 w/o having to wipe and reinstall?

Re: Kernel 2.6.25 messed up my sound

I had problem with my Intel hda audio device sound playing only from left channel.

Try to unload module snd-hda-intel, and then load it again with

modprobe snd-hda-intel model=3stack

See discussion about this:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … tu-517120/

EDIT. Although I am using still kernel 2.6.24 and I had this problem with my kernel. But you might try it anyway

Well I tried it, and no luck.

Look in /var/cache/pacman/pkg for the kernel26-2.6.24 package and do a pacman -U on it.

Bump, same problem here.

Shazeal, downgrading the kernel is not nearly as easy as you described because you also have to downgrade the X driver and whatnot.

Well, at least now I know i'm not crazy and there are other people with this same problem. What kinda PC/Labtop you have?

I have a Toshiba P105-9339.

Re: Kernel 2.6.25 messed up my sound

Hi there,

I had the same problem, did not get sound from out of anywhere of my computer.
The model option did not work for me, no matter what parameter I chose.

So I just tried alsaconf, and got my card up and running again in no time.
Just in case someone else does not succeed with the modprobe options.

Greetings

Re: Kernel 2.6.25 messed up my sound

I got the same problem, tried running alsaconf and got it working, but after reboot again no sound.
alsaconf put this in modeprobe.conf:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

before the upgrade to 2.6.25 everything worked fine, and nothing in modeprobe.

The other methods didn't work for me either.
Its a desktop compuer with asus board.

this is the codec:

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC883
