OSS with Intel HD - No sound from headphones
I have a Dell Precision M4400 with an Intel integrated audio card. I recently switched to OSS because ALSA was giving me a very bad soud quality.
I got the sound working on the internal speakers and internal mic, but I cannot get any sound from the headphone jack. In fact, when I plug in the phones/loudspeakers, it keeps playing sound from the internal speakers.
This is my ossinfo output:

Re: OSS with Intel HD - No sound from headphones
When you perform an osstest does it at any point output to your headphone?

Re: OSS with Intel HD - No sound from headphones
I don't seem to have a headphone output! Am I missing some drivers or using the wrong one?
Currently I only loaded osscore, oss_usb, oss_hdaudio.
BTW, what is spdifout2 for?

Re: OSS with Intel HD - No sound from headphones
OSS and ALSA is shit for HD. I had never so much troubles with sound in Linux like now with HD Intel.
Recently I've noticed that I have no sound in my laptop, osstest produced the sound, but any application does.
Sorry, but I'm angry. Usually I have enough power to struggle with such issues, but when I've wanted to rest and watch some video, god dammit, no sound, whatever I do, how many times I restart oss daemon. And this time it was not related with updates.
Remember if your system is fully operational, don't perform any updates, until you produce enough system backups.
Some applications like Amarok are becoming so unusable like software marked by micro$hit. I was using this soft for long, but latest Amarok is same shit.
I started Amarok and if this s***** cannot play the d*** stream it consumes my Dual Core for some undetified operations. Old Amarok was ok.
Recently I had similar performace problem with OpenOffice. Still unresolved. Even I went back to old version, problem persisted.
To many things are happening over os user, even root.
[edit]
Sound fixed. Apparently I had to eat my dish without video first.
OO issue fixed by rewinding far to 2.4 version.

Re: OSS with Intel HD - No sound from headphones
i had to edit /usr/lib/oss/oss_hdaudio.conf to this
# Disable checks to skip unconnected jack. Values: 0-7, where value is a
# bitmask - every bit disables another check. Can override hdaudio_jacksense.
#
hdaudio_noskip=7
to get get all my speakers working, also my headphone output was one of the "jack black" options in ossxmix.
try uncommenting hdaudio_noskip and changing it to 7 instead of 0 and that should give you more options in ossxmix to play around with.
my speaker don't mute either when i plug in my headphones but i worked around it by configuring a shortcut key to launch ossmix and then just muting the front speakers whenever i plugin my headphones or use spidf out to my receiver.
BTW, what is spdifout2 for?
spdif is the digital out of your sound card, just like the optical out of a dvd player, handy if you have a lot of music on your pc and want to listen to it at the best quality via your av receiver, it will pass the the digital signal straight to your receiver where it should have better digital to analog converters than your pc.
i had to buy a $5 3.5mm to optical/toslink adapter for my laptop as it has spdif out but only via a 3.5mm jack.
