Description of problem: On Dell Inspiron 1525 notebook, where the soundcard is detected as below, the front panel input and output sources are not working correctly. When I insert a headphone on output source 2 no sound is presented, but on output source 1 all works as expected. The external mic (headphone) does not work at all, neither using ALSA nor PULSEAUDIO, but the internal (onboard) mic its working well. # lshw *-multimedia description: Audio device product: 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 1b bus info: pci@0000:00:1b.0 version: 02 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=HDA Intel latency=0 module=snd_hda_intel # lspci 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 10 Beta Snapshot 3 How reproducible: Insert a headphone on the 2nd jack of the front panel, no sound will be presented at all. Insert an external mic on the front panel input source, no sound will be captured, neither using ALSA nor PULSEAUDIO, but the internal (onboard) mic works fine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Play some audio file. 2. Plug a headphone on the 2nd jack of the front panel output source. 3. No sound will be presented at all. 4. Insert an external mic on the front panel input source, no sound will be captured, neither using ALSA nor PULSEAUDIO, but the internal (onboard) mic works fine. Actual results: The 2nd jack of the front panel output source is MUTE. The external mic (headphone) is not working at all, neither using ALSA nor PULSEAUDIO. Expected results: Play the same thing that is playing at the 1st jack of front panel output source, instead of beeing mute. Capture sounds coming from the external mic (headphone). Additional info: These features was working fine on Fedora 9, but on Fedora 10 Beta Snapshot 3 is not working anymore. The same problems are presented on Ubuntu 8.10 RC as well.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
After some research I found out how to overcome this problem. After I create the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base with the above line everything worked out. options snd-hda-intel model=3stack Maybe this information could help you guys.
Daniel, thanks for reporting the solution. This bug is filed against the kernel component, but I don't see which kernel version you were using? Do you know? And is this hack still needed for a more recent kernel version?
Hi Chris... I don't remember exactly which version I was using... but surely, this apply to more recent kernels as well... and the solution works in all these versions. This problem ocurrs even on Ubuntu 9.10. Thanks.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
