I recently purchased the laptop listed above and installed kubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64 Feisty on it.
The sound card works, but, much to my chagrin, plugging in the headphone jack does not mute the speaker.
<wining> This is less than ideal for me because I use Skype quite a bit, and work in a no-walls small office with other people. Having the ability to use my headset for talking on the phone and drowning out ambient noise is important. </wining><deepbreath/>
I have googled high and low and have tried various suggested solutions, including changing:
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base to various settings (laptop-hp, laptop-eahd, test).
I have also downloaded, compiled and installed the 1.0.15 driver and utils according to the instructions at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
without success.
I consulted the page at:
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.t...
dated 2007-10-11 and could note see support for the Conexant 5051 Codec or NVidia MCP67 Audio.
Has anyone had experience with this soundcard/codec and gotten the headphones jack to mute the speakers correctly ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a java programmer with very high reverence for linux C-programmers and would be happy to help test a patch for this device (I may need a little help to get going), or trade for java programming/consulting. Please let me know if you additional information other than the one listed below.
Thank you kindly for any help.
Sincerely,
Philippe Paravicini
