Hi guys,

Recently just installed Gentoo on a Lenovo T440p I have and have been facing a few weird issue, this being one of them.
After setting up pulseaudio and ALSA and verifying it worked on both my earphones and internal speakers, I've proceed to reboot the system.

After the system came up, there was still sound coming out from the internal speakers.
Plugged in my earphones and surprise surprise, there was totally no sound.

Opened up pavucontrol and I can see the volume in the playback tab.
Checked alsamixer and earphones were not muted.
Unplugged the earphones and the sound continues on the speaker.
No amount of reboots managed to fix the problem.

While searching for a solution, I've chanced upon this thread. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=200090
Tried suspending my laptop and resuming it and voila, it worked. There is sound.

To be honest this feels more like a workaround as I will lose my audio every now and then, after which a suspend is needed to get back the sound.
What could the problem be and anyone else having the same problem?

edit:: currently on ~amd64, gentoo-sources-4.2.0-r1

wild stab in the dark, run alsamixer, and press M on the headphones section... then bring up the levels with the up arrow key

Hi Muso,

Like what i've mentioned in my original post, the headphones are not muted.
pavucontrol shows that there is indeed activity in the headphones sink but there is no sound from it.

It works without any changes to the volume control after I do a sudo s2ram and resuming it again.

that pulseaudio can not be trusted.

1. kill pulseaudio process. Ideally uninstall the little b****.
2. Check if alsmixer has some hidden switch somewhere, where it may enable/disable earphones or switches between two.
3. run "speaker-test -c 2" with speakers and with earplugs.
