Asus X42J no sound output...

Hello everyone...

aplay -l out put
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC269VB Analog [ALC269VB Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/info output

card: 0
device: 0
subdevice: 0
stream: CAPTURE
id: ALC269VB Analog
name: ALC269VB Analog
subname: subdevice #0
class: 0
subclass: 0
subdevices_count: 1
subdevices_avail: 1

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC269VB

My /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
option snd-hda-intel model=basic

This laptop uses one of those wierd combo jacks..where the mic line in and the headphones jack ports are combined into one..
I have actually gotten sound and mic line in recording to work once... However .. on booting back to windows and than back to Arch again... Sound output mysteriously dissapeared.. .. Does any one know why ? How do i go bout this ?

Yours sincerely ,
A lost soul...  sad

Re: Asus X42J no sound output...

Did you try alsaconf? Sometimes (usually after some kind of error with playback) my sound disappears, but when I run alsaconf, it restarts levels etc. and everything is fine.

Apart from that , Jack sense isn't working too...no headphone output
ALC269VB codec support was supposedly added to kernel git around April 2010
However , i am still unable to get any sound ...
I have tried the newer kernel 2.6.37 ( kernel26-mainline from the AUR )
and i have also tried alsa-driver.hda-intel.hda-codec-realtek-git from the AUR
I still do not have any sound out put... sad

Re: Asus X42J no sound output...

Stupid question, have you tried just running alsamixer?

If aplay -l lists your card, I don't see what's wrong.

Alsaconf couldn't detect my card, I even messed with OSS for a while because I couldn't figure it out and it seems all I needed to do was set the levels up in alsamixer.

Re: Asus X42J no sound output...

yes i have tried alsamixer..

However , my issue is perhaps more of the driver issue... Sound cards are rather complex...and have many pins and switches... maybe my soundcard isnt detected properly... some how.. i couldnt find my soundcard listed in the hdamodel text...

Re: Asus X42J no sound output...

I have Asus ul20ft with the same ALC269VB audio, there were no sound after updating the system, phone jack also didn't work.
"option snd-hda-intel model=auto" in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
resolved the issue for me.. Hope it helps..
