Description of problem: Regardless of the port set(I try set the port using pacmd and phonon) the sound always play just in the speakers never in the headphones. Additional info: Im using full updated fedora19 installed using fedup from fedora17 and the headphones did work on the fedora17. I have two headphone jacks in the laptop a alienware m14x r2. I been playing around with the default configuration for the analog-output-headphone and no luck to get any sound on the headphones.

Is this the same problem as I've experienced in Bug 968187 ?
Hi, Yes the bug seems to be exact the same, I can see the headphones are plug-in but does not matter how much I play with the pulse configuration I can't get none of my headphone plugs to output nothing, im currently using the fedora19 with kernel 3.9.6-301.fc19.x86_64 still no joy :(
Hello, I have exactly the same problem on my Alienware m17x, using Fedora 19 and the current default configuration (Pulseaudio 3.0 and kernel 3.11.1-200.fc19.x86_64). Any news about this bug?
Hi Kathel I give this another go and waste a few more hours in this, I recompile the kernel with some audio patch, I went all the way up to the 3.12rc3 and still no luck, and I tried all kind of combos, including passing the option. options snd-hda-intel model=dell-eq and alienware I would truly like to see this fixed, but I still not sure where the bug is pulseaudio/kernel ?
Using alsamixer in console, I got my headphones working: By default I had in alsamixer: Card: Pulseaudio Chipset: Pulseaudio Using F6 in order to change card, there is two options: - (default) 0 HDA Intel PCM I select 0 HDA Intel PCM, and then the sound goes through my headphones. I must repeat the operation each time I want sound in my headphones. I have this line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf: options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6-amic (I doubt this changes anything) I guess the problem comes from the interaction between alsa and pulseaudio, but I am no expert into this...
Hi Kathel, Thanks for the advice, but I got the headphones to work by going back a few releases in the kernel. I'm in position to say is a KERNEL bug, I got the vanilla 3.4 kernel soon I boot it the headphones worked perfectly no need to do any extra steps. I guess this bug should be moved from pulseaudio and assign to Kernel.

Hello, Yes I'm still experiencing this problem, at the moment I have the kernel from the rawhide installed 3.13.0-0.rc5.git0.2.fc21.x86_64, the alsa version: sudo yum info alsa-lib.x86_64 Installed Packages Name : alsa-lib Arch : x86_64 Version : 1.0.27.2 Release : 2.fc20 Size : 1.2 M Repo : installed From repo : rawhide Summary : The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) library URL : http://www.alsa-project.org/ License : LGPLv2+ Description : The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI : functionality to the Linux operating system. : : This package includes the ALSA runtime libraries to simplify application : programming and provide higher level functionality as well as support for : the older OSS API, providing binary compatibility for most OSS programs.

Hello, The problem seems to be solved for me with this update on Fedora 19 with kernel 3.12.6-200.fc19.x86_64 and alsa-lib Version 1.0.27.2, Release 1.fc19
Hello Kathel, That didn't work for me, rgomes@m14x:~$ uname -r 3.12.6-200.fc19.x86_64 rgomes@m14x:~$ sudo yum info alsa-lib Name : alsa-lib Arch : i686 Version : 1.0.27.2 Release : 2.fc20 Size : 1.2 M Repo : installed From repo : rawhide Summary : The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) library URL : http://www.alsa-project.org/ License : LGPLv2+ And still no sound on the headphones
Hi Rui, I had the same problem as you using kernel 3.12.8-200.fc19.x86_64 and alsa-lib-1.0.27.2-1 under fedora 19 but I had to go in alsamixer (as Kathel did) to make it works. This is what I did: - Launch alsamixer - Change sound card to select 0 HDA Intel PCM (using F6 key) - Unmute "HP/Speaker Auto Detect" control (which was displayed as 'MM') using the M key. Now it is displayed as '00'. - Try to plug and unplug the headphones and it works like a charm :D :D I use an Alienware M17x. Kind regards, -- Guillaume

As mentioned in bug 968187 this has been working for me for a while, the current kernel included.
