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.

Comment 1 Takashi Iwai 2010-09-08 06:00:26 UTC 
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.
