Help Needed: Outputting Sound

[LuckyTaco]

I recently got an Asus G51VX-RX05 and am new to Ubuntu. Curently, I boot Ubuntu 9.04 from an external harddrive (when I want to use Vista I unplug the hardrive).

Sound comes from the laptop speakers just fine but when headphones are plugged into the headphone jack no sound comes from either the headphones or speakers. I have tried messing with the Alsa setting but have been unsuccessful. How can I get sound through my headphones?

I have no idea, but what little I could pull from google suggests that these things have issues with the headphone switch... design shortcuts?

Post the output of lspci -nn | grep -i audio

At least then we'll know what exact card we're dealing with.

Thanks, but I finally figured it out (I got the answer from linlap.com)

I needed to add the line
options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode3
to
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
then restart the driver
