Debian :: Must Plug In Headphones To Hear Sound On Laptop?
Aug 31, 2011
I have Debian wheezy, and win xp, installed on my Toshiba Satellite P205-S6337 laptop. The laptop speakers do not work when the computer starts up, but they work in windows. After fiddling with the sound preferences and making sure the volume was turned up with alsamixer. I tried plugging in headphones.I could hear sound on the headphones. Then when I unplugged the headphones the laptop's built in speakers work again! This wouldn't be such a problem except I have to plug in and unplug a pair of headphones to make them work.
I just noticed that when I plug in my headphones, I still hear sound through my desktop speakers when I am using Fedora 15. I have an HP pavilion desktop, running Fedora 15 and Windows Vista.
I can't hear the music playing on my speakers, BUT i can hear the music playing in my headphones when i insert my headphones jack.
I have tried configuring aslamixer, tried configuring the sound devices but nothing seems to work. i have also installed a lot of music players such as asla player, audacity and so on. i also tried configuring the aslamixer from the terminal but it did's work as well.
I must add that i have linux ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 i386 installed and windows xp home edition sp3. In windows, i have no problem playing any sound. (I am new to linux <2 days> but very experimented with windows <17 years>).
Yesterday I installed openSUSE 11.3 on a desktop PC and I noticed that the PC's speaker it's not functioning but if I plug the headphones I can hear the sound system working.
first because of my nvidia card if I don't put nomodeset my screen turns off.also whenever I try to update my nvidia drivers either the ones from the ones from the website or the propriety drivers I get a MCU failure or something like that and to fix that i have to change "nvidia" in my xorg.conf to "nv" but then my resolution loads to 640x480 which i cant change and it says im not using the propriety drivers so then i changed "nv" to "vesa" which makes my screen highest screen resolution 1280x 720 and apparently my refresh rate is 0. but i cant do anything good without the propriety drivers.Also my sound doesn't work at all unless i plug in some headphones.
I am using opensuse 11.2 KDE. I hear sound only in headphones but not in speakers of laptop COMPAQ presario 2700. /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf looks like this:options snd slots=snd-intel8x0# W60f.Zmi7iE4Vbq5:82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controlleralias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
I'm running a Dell inspiron 1501 laptop with a sigmatel stac 9200 sound chipset.
When I had ubuntu 9.04, I had sound no problem and when I upgraded to 9.10 I had sound for a little bit. Now the only way I get sound off my laptop is by plugging in my headphones.
I've tried trouble shooting this a number of ways using the following links as the latest:
I might have a different problems as I have a newer laptop, a HP dv6-2170us with intel i5 cpu. I had no wireless with the 2.6.31 kernel so I upgraded to the 2.6.34 and had to manually compile my wireless driver. Everything works great now except the sound issue. I thought it use to work out the box with the old kernel, but then again I might be wrong. I knwo it works in the "other os" dual booting and all. Its a not a huge issue, but hopeing I could resolve it. Here is some of the info from reading some of the other posts. the model=dell-vostro I just tried to see if that works, which is doesnt, so thats why thats in my sound.conf file.
[Code].....
Have I missed anything? I have tried the fix here: Audio coming from both headphone and laptop speakers - Page 3 - openSUSE Forums page 3 about adding a repo and upgrading, but that upgrade wants me to revert back to the older kernel in which case I dont have wireless support or acpi working proporly, so thats not a doable thing for me.
I have an issue where my laptop speakers work just fine, but when I plug in headphones, I get no noise. I'm using openSUSE 11.4.I found others with the same issue, but this guy's solution looks like he might be using some different version and his solution doesn't work (can't find the file he edited).
I am new to fedora 13. My problem is that I can not hear any sound from my laptop's internal speakers (that works f9 in windows--so no h/w probs!) but when I connect external headphones, everything is heard.I have tried several commands from various internet sources since past one week. I don't understand many of the commands that I have run, but that has somehow helped me to run media files and hear sound on HEADPHONES.
I am new to using linux. i have installed gOS linux recently on my system. everything is working fine including the updates, videos and graphics but i cannot hear any sound. my pc configuration is intel dual coree 3.4 ghz, 3 gb ddr2 667 ram, intel 945 gcl (integrated sound driver by sigmatel), 160 gb 7200 rpm hard drive( seagate), nvidia 6600 LE 512 ddr2, creative 2.1. i have tried changing the default sound driver from intel hda alsa mixer which is the default as sound driver in the system to sigamel oss mixer but that proved to be of no use actually. i have also connected a few of my friend' pc s to my system to find out any problems if there is with the sound box but there isn't any.the speaker is just working fine with those systems. but when it comes to my own system i cannot hear any sound.
I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed in a notebook. Everything goes gone but the sound output, I can only hear the built in speakers, and I didn't find the headset output controls. I know there's no more mechanical switch as in the past, I mean, when you plug the headset it's is detected by the OS and the sound should come from that output, instead of the speakers, but that's not my case.
In the current release of Debian, is there a reason that I can only hear sound through one speaker. With any other distro, the sound can be heard through both.
I'm running a Debian on a laptop (actually a netbook: Asus EEE 1001PX) as a cheap homeserver. However I'd like it to automatically "shutdown -h NOW" when I remove the AC plug (switch it off at the wall). Otherwise I have to ssh to it and call it myself, and that just sucks Can I somehow detect the removal of AC power and upon that run a script ?
I am running Ubuntu 10.10..The Movie player volume is too low to hear on my headphones.Whereas when i play on rhythmbox,it's a lil better. why low volume on movie player?
I installed Debian 8.1 with iceweasel 38.2.1esr-1~deb8u1
Whenever I want to open a youtube fragment I do hear the sound but the screen just remains green. I already googled the issue but found no solution that works.
I want the volume to change when I plug in headphones, because my netbook's speakers are really quiet but the earbuds I have are really loud when I plug them in. I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Netbook Edition on an Asus eeePC 1005HA, if that's important.
Im running Jessie, and have run into issue with my laptop sound card.
If is shutdown the laptop with the headphones plugged in, and remove them while its off, system wont recognize they are not there any more and is probably sending sound out to this output. To get the sound out to my laptop speakers I need to plug the headphones while the system is up, and remove them again. Only then will the output device work properly.

I have a Dell Vostro 2520 and when I plug in the headphones, the speakers don't mute. I tried to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file several times to put different things in, that I found on the internet but non of them worked.

when my headphones are plugged into my computer, the sound comes from both the speakers AND the headphones. I just want the sound from the headphones if they are plugged in.
I'm having an issue with my computer and the headphones. When I plug in the headphones into the headphone jack, the sound plays through the headphones but it also plays through the speakers as well at the same time. I've attempted to play around with the sound settings to see if I can get this issue resolved but I have not been able too. Computer specifications are in my signature.
I've got a 5yr old Sony Vaio TT that works like a charm with Jessie amd64... only the headphones output is not working.
When I plug the headphones in, the laptop speakers get muted, but I get no sound from the headphones
I've got Gnome & default pulseaudio installed, and I've played with all switches in alsamixer / gnome-alsamixer / pavucontrol with no luck.
It's an Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) card that uses snd-hda-intel & snd-hda-codec-realtek modules among others; in /etc/modprobe.d I've added a .conf file with "options snd-hda-intel model=sony-vaio-tt" in it, but same behaviour...
my speakers work fine. However, there are 6 2.5ml audio jacks on the back of this soundcard, and I should like to be able to use more than 1- I have my headphones plugged in to the blue (normally line out) socket, and the mic plugged into the pink (normally mic) socket.A bunch of google searches reported that I'm not the only person to have had sound issues- but most of them seemed to be pertaining to laptops not switching off speakers when the headphones were plugged in- which is hardly relevant!
I've installed Skype on my Debian Lenny AMD64 system using method describe in [URL] . I also installed pulseaudio using aptitude, but not sure that this required.
I can sign in to Skyp, call out to my local phone number; phone rings. But I have no sound through my Logitech ClearChat Comfort USB headset and no sound is heard on the phone.
If I click on Applications/sound & video/pulseaudio volume control, I get:
Connection failed: Connection refused
1) Am I missing a configuration step? If so what do I need to do where?
2) If not configuration, is there another issue that needs to be resolved? What? Where?
3) Why do I see Connection refused when I clike on pulseaudio volume control?
Note: I tried to listen to npr, but no sound there either.
I just installed Squeeze on my HP G62 and everything is working fine except the sound. I can only get sound through the headphones and not the speakers. I tried playing with the controls in alsamixer but no luck. Not much to do really, there are only 3 controls - Master, PCM and Capture.
aplay doesn't produce any errors, just no sound.
Here are a few relevant outputs:

I recently bought a used Asus eee 1001PX. It came installed with some spyware called windows which I replaced with jessie. Everything works great but one thing. When I plug in headphones I get no sound in the headphones. If I have some audio running and plug them in while it's playing it doesn't cut the audio from the built in speakers off like it should do. If I start and look at Output Devices in pauvcontrol it seems like it at least recognizes that I have headphones inserted.
I didn't have a chance to test if the physical audio jack was broken while it had Windows running on it but assuming that it's not physically broken, what might be wrong? I know very little about audio, alsa, pulse and that kind of stuff so I hardly know even where to start.

Ever since I installed Debian, when I plug in the headphones the sound goes out through both the headphones and the speakers (they aren't blocked). I don't mind it that much, but could it be potentially damaging to my sound hardware?
