Runnnig 3.11-rc6 and seeing the same problem (on Ubuntu). Seems that after a suspend&resume cycle the headphones also cease to work.

Comment 2 Miek Gieben 2013-09-06 10:13:45 UTC
With 3.11 sound (via the headphones) keeps on working even after the resumes.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 19 kernel bugs.

Fedora 19 has now been rebased to 3.11.1-200.fc19.  Please test this kernel update and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

I'm experiencing the same issue. also, jack sensing does not work.

Apple did a full HW refresh for the 2013 MacBook Air, so some devices are not recognised - including the Cirrus audio system.

kernel bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60811 has a patch for Alsa that fixes the issue.

Comment 5 Emmanuele Bassi 2013-10-13 09:47:59 UTC
still happening with Fedora 20.

Comment 6 Alex Markley 2013-10-30 15:34:03 UTC
I've just put Fedora 19 on a MacBookAir6,2, and I can confirm this issue is happening for me too.

Comment 7 carasin 2013-12-14 18:42:00 UTC
Fedora 20
kernel-3.12.5-301.fc20.x86_64
Lenovo Y470p
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)

There is no sound via speakers after boot. But after plugging/unplugging the headphones (via 3,5 mm jack) the sound (via speakers) comes back. BTW, the headphones work fine.

Comment 9 Emmanuele Bassi 2014-03-10 14:55:01 UTC
it seems 3.12.8-300 already fixed the issue for me: I get jack sensing, and the speaker works. I guess this bug can be closed.

Thanks.
