Created attachment 69282 [details] alsa-info.sh output Well, this bug is "old". Initially, I registered the bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=618447 But there is no answers. Same problem with newer kernel versions (ArchLinux - kernel version 3.0.3). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Description of problem: I can't use my front panel connectors. I have no sound output/input. In fedora 12 (32 bits) I used to have my headset in front panel and everything worked just fine. My audio input source is set to front mic and 'Independent HP' option is set to OFF. The sound in my back connectors seems fine, my speakers works. I had the same problem on Ubuntu 10.04 and fixed it by setting the "Independent" HP with OFF option, but in fedora 13 not working. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 3.0.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect speaker/headphone in front of PC 2. Turn on some player (rhythmbox, totem, amarok..) 3. Actual results: No sound in front panel Expected results: Sound Additional info: I removed package alsa-plugins-pulseaudio and I rebooted my computer. Did not work.. the problem persists. # lshw -c multimedia: *-multimedia description: Audio device product: MCP73 High Definition Audio vendor: nVidia Corporation physical id: 9 bus info: pci@0000:00:09.0 version: a1 width: 32 bits clock: 66MHz capabilities: pm msi bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=HDA Intel latency=0 maxlatency=5 mingnt=2 resources: irq:22 memory:feaf8000-feafbfff -------------------------------------------------------------- # lscpi -v | grep -A7 Audio 00:09.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP73 High Definition Audio (rev a1) Subsystem: Elitegroup Computer Systems Device 2965 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22 Memory at feaf8000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable+ 64bit+ Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel ------------------------------------------------------------------- # lsmod Module Size Used by fuse 54749 2 sunrpc 192013 1 p4_clockmod 4363 0 freq_table 3851 1 p4_clockmod speedstep_lib 4706 1 p4_clockmod ip6t_REJECT 4055 2 nf_conntrack_ipv6 17513 2 ip6table_filter 2743 1 ip6_tables 16558 1 ip6table_filter ipv6 267017 42 ip6t_REJECT,nf_conntrack_ipv6 uinput 7230 0 snd_hda_codec_via 53145 1 snd_hda_intel 24280 6 snd_hda_codec 73671 2 snd_hda_codec_via,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 6222 1 snd_hda_codec snd_seq 50941 0 snd_seq_device 5895 1 snd_seq snd_pcm 76131 4 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec ppdev 8142 0 parport_pc 20649 0 microcode 17930 0 wmi 6600 0 parport 30553 2 ppdev,parport_pc snd_timer 19234 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm nvidia 10847792 38 i2c_nforce2 6566 0 forcedeth 46972 0 snd 60573 18 snd_hda_codec_via,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer i2c_core 24507 2 nvidia,i2c_nforce2 soundcore 6198 1 snd snd_page_alloc 7221 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm pata_acpi 3251 0 ata_generic 3323 0 usb_storage 44536 0 pata_amd 10842 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: VT1708B Analog [VT1708B Analog] Subdevices: 1/2 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: VT1708B Digital [VT1708B Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
How is the hardware configuration? One line-out, one line-in and one mic-in in rear panel, and one HP-out and one mic-in in front panel? It's possible that your front box is no HD-audio compliant but AC97 one. (There are often such machines.) In such a case, the pin-detection doesn't work because of incompatible connection. Since 3.0 kernel, the driver provides "Dynamic Power-Control" mixer enum. Turn this off for disabing the power-control per pin-detection.

I'm sorry. How can I do this? Where? The sound works fine with kernel 2.6.32, 2.6.31, etc. Thanks again.

How can I do this? Where? Run "alsamixer -c0", choose "Dynamic Power-Control" via left/right key, and change the value by up/down key.
Unfortunately, I can't find this option on fedora 15 (kernel 2.0 aka 2.6.40) or Arch Linux (kernel 3.0.3). Alsamixer version is 1.0.24.1 A screenshot is attached.

Obs: The option Independent HP is turned off, but doesn't work.
Ah, sorry, it's included since 3.1-rc1. Try 3.1-rc2 kernel or the latest Linus tree.
Thanks. I'll wait for this release.
