Hello guys,
I just upgraded my alsa from 1.0.16 to 1.0.18a (actually I tried 1.0.18 for some days, and got lots of kernel crashes, which apparently 1.0.18a fixes). Thing is that when I try to use my headphones with 1.0.18a they don't work.
I'm attaching alsa-info.sh outputs for both 1.0.16 and 1.0.18a too see if this helps.
Headphones detection works pretty well, when ever I plug the jack internal speakers stop working but nothing is coming from the jack. I can hear an static sounds, so it seems like the headphones are getting the bias current, but not the signal itself.
Please let me know how can I help you to debug this problem.
Regards, Manuel
Ohh btw, 1.0.18a connects the hardwar beeper, which can only be disabled at compile time, just as a suggestion, isn't there any way to create a way to mute this on runtime? For advanced users like us this is no trouble, but for newbies this is an issue, and might scare them, the beep on a dell laptop is quite annoying (you can't image how annoying it's comming out of the headphones)
Don't you have "PC Beep" mixer control?
