Description Alexander Hunziker 2010-09-07 21:45:35 UTC

On a Thinkpad T400s, i can hear sound from the internal speakers. If I connect headphones to the respective jack though, they remain silent. This is the case with a 2.6.35 kernel, but worked fine using 2.6.34.

Do you mean that the headphone is silent?

The speaker gets muted automatically when headphone jacks are plugged in.  This is the designed behavior in the recent version.

Comment 2 Takashi Iwai 2010-09-08 06:03:22 UTC

Anyway, please run alsa-info.sh (with --no-upload option) before and after plugging the headphone, and give the outputs to bugzilla.  (Please don't paste them to the form.)

A better question then comment 1 is: which headphone jack are you using?  Is it the headphone jack of the machine itself or of the docking-station?

Comment 3 Alexander Hunziker 2010-09-08 07:02:43 UTC

I'm using the headphone jack on the machine itself.

When I plug it it, the speakers of the machine go silent (which is fine, and by design), but the headphones remain silent.

Try to pass model=thinkpad for snd-hda-intel module.

This was already fixed recently in sound git tree

Comment 7 Alexander Hunziker 2010-09-14 18:29:48 UTC

Passing that parameter seems to help. Will that change land in a 2.6.35 point release? Thanks!

Comment 8 Florian Mickler 2010-09-30 06:35:00 UTC

The fix is in v2.6.35.5 . Thx.
