[Solved] Problem with headset sound on toshiba laptop

[pivica]

Hi,

I have a problem with sound output on toshiba satellite a135 laptop with Pardus 2009. Sound is working OK on laptop speakers, but when I plug in headset in mic input and sound output connectors - microphone is working but I am still hearing sound on speakers and not on headset.

In sound mixer for hda intel I have headphone and speaker channels. When I mute speaker channel I don't hear sound on speakers, but when I unmute headphone channel I still don't hear anything in headset.

I have search a little bit and it seems that lot of users of Ubuntu have the same problem - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/218817. Suggested solution there is to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and add this line

    options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-micsense

But I cant find alsa-base file in Pardus?

Anybody knows solution for my problem?

create a document named snd-hda-intel

and copy that code in it.


    options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-micsense

and restart your computer.

Thanks for quick reply.

That bug is describing problem with speakers, I have problem with headphone. If I dont solve this in couple of days will create separate bug issue.

create a document named snd-hda-intel

I have tried to create /etc/modprobe/snd-hda-intel and restart laptop and still have the same problem. Also I have tried next combinations:

/etc/modprobe/snd-hda-intel.conf
/etc/modprobe/alsa-base
/etc/modprobe/alsa-base.conf

With restarting after each change and nothing happens - still I am hearing sound only on laptop speakers and not in headphones.

    options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-micsense

are you sure that this is the right code ?

what is the exact model of your sound card.

[pivica]

Here is a code that I used

Code:

$ more /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-micsense

And here is info about my sound card from KDE Info center

Code:

Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.20 emulation code)

Hi soilwork,

I have tried both solutions but unfortunately non of them worked - I am still hearing sound only on speakers and not on headphones

[pivica]

I don't know why and how but headset started to work correctly - couple a days ago i decided to remove /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel file and then I tried my headset and it just started to work.

Didn't do anything special before that, just done update from Pardus repositories.

Anyway my toshiba is now fully functional on Pardus 2009
