• Headphones Sound in Linux on ALC262

    Date: 2008.11.17 | Category: Linux, Tech Stuff | Tags:

    Got some issues with getting sound out of my headphones when plugging them into my external audio plug on my Fujitsu-Siemens portable running Kubuntu Hardy.

    I found help in a number of places, among others an Ubuntu wiki collecting trouble info, and this and this place, which eventually led me to install backported modules,

    sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r)

    Add this to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base,

    options snd-hda-intel model=fujitsu

    And either do a reboot or log out of the desktop, going to a TTY (Alt+F1), and,

    sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop
sudo rmmod snd_hda_intel
sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start

    Then logging in again. You might have to enable “Headphones” or “IEC958″ in your mixer. In Kmix, it’s under the “Switches” tab.
