headphone jack borked with new kernel

with kernel 2.6.27, audio works fine on built-in speakers or headphones.

with any kernel after that, audio works fine on built-in speakers but headphone jack doesnt work.

sort of. I can get sound out of my headphone jack if it's plugged in not all the way, but if I plug it in all teh way I get no sound at all. it's a stereo male jack, and it's a stereo female jack... so weird.

I can compile 2.6.27 and get it workign again. I've tried many newer kernels and they all bork my sound in this way.

my alsa info: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7791db2cc1ec552c91ccb9be9bf0819bc5fe1f68

my hardware: http://go.internet.com/?id=474X1117&url=http%3A//www.obsessable.com/laptop/asus-g50vt-x1/specs/

I'm also having other annoying issues with alsa, just that I have no 'mix' 'bass' or 'trebble' input/output sources. I've got a thread about that here: http://justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?p=888405#post888405

Define "new kernel," as in, what version are you discussing?

Blessed be!

new versions. for example, now I'm using 2.6.30-gentoo-r2 and I have the sound problem I described. if I recompile a 2.6.27 kernel, the sound problem goes away.

but I cant be stuck with 2.6.27 *forever* :-/

There are some new settings for snd_hda_intel with the .30 kernels. Double check to make sure you have the proper settings set.

Blessed be!

I just looked at the Device Drivers -> Sound Card stuff for my good 2.6.27 kernel and the 2.6.30 kernel, and all the settings are the same.

I even grep'd .configs for 'snd' on each kernel version and diff'd them, and it returned nothing.

it doesn't seem to be a kernel config issue.

dit u past 'options snd-hda-intel model=auto' to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf

auto is the default, so no need to pass this. You need to specify a model if you need something different then auto finds. (and you can do it on the kernel command line instead of building a module - unless of course you just like having modules)

I'm googling how people set up this same card, 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

I've seen lots of different places where they put the same alsa module info..

/etc/modules.d/alsa.conf
/etc/modules.d/sound
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

gentoo seems to have it placed at /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf. is this the correct place?
