>> >> headphone jack, and headset jack, and a microphone jack >>are you sure that it support headset jack ? There are 3 multimedia jacks, all are 3.5mm: microphone(picture of microphone), headhpones/microphone-combo(picture of headhpones with microphone boom), and headphones(picture of headphones).
>>are you sure that it support headset jack ? Yes >>are there any hardware spec of your motherboard ? What specific information are you needing? >>does it support 5.1 by using the three audio jacks ? Nope, the audio jacks are as listed above. We were testing out some changing pins with David Henningsson's hdajackretask util from alsa-utils, but have had no luck in getting it working with that yet. Would be nice if the hdajackretask util could automatically cycle through some different pin-profile settings, while the user is listening on speakers, and then with headphones to help settle the right pin settings. I'm not entirely sure this is a pin setting issue, but since the sound through built-in speakers and the built-in microphone works without issue, it seems we are very close to getting sound to work through the headphones and microphone jack. related link for hda-jack-retask procedure I mentioned: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/960124/comments/6 Thanks for the help! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1267675 Title: [13.10] Alienware M14xR2 (CA0132) - External headphone/headset/microphone do not work when plugged in To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1267675/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
