Ubuntu: Alsa Headphone Jack Sense Option Missing

Posted Dec20-10 at 06:14 PM by JaredJames
Alsa has an error with some sound cards which means the headphone jack sense option is missing.

The result of this error is sound playing through both headphones and speakers at the same time (sound isn't muted for speakers).

Simply add:
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=z71v position_fix=1
to
Code:
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Restart the computer.

    Thanks! I've looked everywhere for how to fix that and somehow never found this information. I've added the line, but haven't reloaded alsa or tested it, yet. Hopefully it'll work. Nothing else I've tried ever has.
