[SOLVED]No sound in speakers when headphones plugged in since 2.6.38.3

As I already mentionned in another thread, since the kernel26 2.6.38.3 update I'm not getting any sound in my speakers when my headphones are plugged in the front panel of my desktop.
I'd like to get sound in my speakers even when headphones are plugged in.
I was directed at some "Headphone jack sense" option, but there is none in my alsamixer (even after pressing F5.) Can't find anything anywhere on the web either. Most people want to disable sound in their speakers when their headphones are plugged in... Not me.
I'll try to see if I can find the annoying commit somewhere, but meanwhile if someone has an idea, that would be great!
PS: some technical information...
Gigabyte H55N-USB3 motherboard.
$ lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC892
Codec: Intel IbexPeak HDMI
The speakers are plugged in the rear jack output (not HDMI.)
... and I forgot to say I'm using ALSA.

You realize that the speakers are supposed to get muted if you plug some headphones in the headphone jack, if that doesn't happen it is considered a bug as the new jack sense ... stuff ... is supposed to emulate the old and reliable hardware switch inside the jack. You may be able to pass some option to some module to override this though since everything is done in software now.

    no sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us.  Speakers are not muted and volume is up.  May have happened after a system update

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the relevant IDT Audio installer on the links below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 7.
    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 8.
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

  • Sound from speakers AND headphones

    I'm getting sound out of the speakers when I plug in headphones on my G5. It goes mute when I first plug in the headphones, but then comes back on. If I go into System Prefs, it shows the headphones as being the line out. Also, if I click the Digital Out, it still comes out of the speakers. The speakers are JBL Creatures. Any ideas?

    I have same exact problem, Did u contact to HP support? wat did they say?
    Even HP support couldn't help me.... they asked me to troubleshoot in all ways and asked me to format but still i have that problem. They couldn't even replace or exchange my product(ENVY 4 Touchsmart 1215dx). 
    Possible reasons why this happen:
    1. Hard drive isn't fast enough.
    2. Audio drivers not properly installed.
    3.VIA Chipset issue.
    4.Soundcard problem.
    For me 1 & 2 are fine, so problem is between 3or 4 may be both.
    Try to check where problem exsits from above 4 points 

  • No speakers or headphones plugged in problem on HP running on windows 8

    I dont know how this problem started but my sound just gave out. I downloaded the software audio driver and it worked briefly. Once my computer automatically updated to windows 8.1 it stopped working again. When I tried the driver again I get an error message saying the hardware detected is not supported by the idt software package. I deleted anything idt and tried again but it still hasnt worked.
    Here's what I can tell you: I have a HP Pavillion G6 running on windows 8
    The audio says there are no speakers or headphones plugged in
    Under the control panel the sound program says 1 - Digital Display Audio AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged in
    Device Manager says the device is working properly
    The driver version is 8.0.0.8807 and it is up to date
    Any ideas on how I can fix this, it is driving me crazy!

    Why do I get a humming noise from my stereo speakers when I plug in my airport?

    Temporarily, please turn off your amplifier and/or powered speakers and disconnect the plug that goes into the AirPort Express audio jack.
    Plug a pair of headphones directly into the AirPort Express and listen for a few minutes.
    Do you hear the "hum" that way?

  • HP laptops diverting sounds from external speakers when headphones connected

    Hi there,
    The problem is reproduced in several cases, but the most annoying is the following:
    1. Headphones are connected to the laptop (I assume all sounds must go to the headphones, not to the speaker)
    2. Have skype (or googletalk or several other apps) run in background
    3. Have browser (chrome, firefox) open and youtube video is being showed
    4. Message comes to IM (skype, gtalk...) and when BEEP from the application is played - it is played not in headphones, but in external speakers!
    I though the issue was with skype - but after some time I faced with the same problem in other apps - and it is not reproduced on other laptops (not HP).
    The problem is being seen on several different HP laptops. Here is details of my laptop:
    HP ProBook 6550b WD700EA#ACB
    Windows7 Enterprise 64bit, SP1

    Ok I have it Fixed on my computer.
    In the control panel then sound there are 3 devices.
    AMD HDMI Output
    AMD High Definition Audio Device
    Speakers and Headphones
    IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    Communications Headphones
    IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    What apears to happen is that as soon as a communications type program starts it devides the audio inbetween 2 mixers and seperated the headphone jack from the main audio card. As soon as I right clicked and disabled the "Communications Headphones" Then there is only one mixer that focres all applications to use the heaphone jack instead of the regular applications through the external speakers and communication applications to the headphone.
    If for any reason you want to reactivate the "Communications Headphones" one you disable you will need to right click in the sound windows and select show disabled devices.

  • No sound except when headphones plugged in

    I just noticed that there is no sound on my phone except with earphones. The phone calls but I can't hear anything. I just started noticing this today. Alarm and timer sounds are okay.

    I have had this problem more than once, and from what I can tell it comes from unplugging headphones while playing music, talking on the phone or some combonation of all. What I have done to fix this is do just that, play music without headphones, plug them in, unplug them, play again etc. Just go through every possible combonation you can think of. Also if you use an fm transmitter that plugs into the docking port, then you need to use that in your tests as well. I can't tell you the right combination, cause I don't know excatly what it was to fix it, but this has happened to me twice, and I got sound back after both times.

  • No audio from internal speakers until headphones plugged in

    This is for a Hp dv 6 with beats audio.I have no audio from the internal speakers until i plug the headphones in , when I get sound from both the internal speakers and the headphones.
    I did find some people had the same issue which was resolved after changes in the realtek HD audio controller but I cannot find the audio controller on my laptop , which I am sure is different from the realtek audio drivers
    I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers without any success.

  • Speaker wouldn't mute when headphone plugged in

    I've search the forum for this problem and found several solutions but none if them work.
    This is my problem...
    One day the building I've stayed been struck by lighting and my laptop suddenly shutdown. When I turned it back on the problem occurs. My laptop speaker wouldn't mute when the headphone plugged in. I've try reinstall the driver and plugged in a new headphone still wouldn't mute and the sound from headphone only from one side. Is this hardware problem and can it be fix or this problem can be solve just by tweaking?

    Hello ricky_waldron,
    Your speakers do not mute when headphones are connected.
    Go to HP.com and update the BIOS and chipset driver.
    Here is a link to the updates.
    Since you have already done a recovery, it may be the hardware not working correctly.
    You may need to call HP and have the laptop sent back for repair.
    Here is a link to a phone number to call HP and see what options they have.
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.
