@Raymond, interesting that you brought up Bug 55541. I had been reading through that and comparing outputs. It seems to me that most of the issues involved was that the DSP was not running or that output was being directed to a non-existent S/PDIF jack.
My issue is similar, in that output ONLY goes to a S/PDIF jack - and I have 2 of those. There is only 1 HP jack located in the front on this system. I don't have speakers that will accept S/PDIF input in order to see if sound data actually goes there. When selecting the HP, even though it looks as though sound is being routed to that jack, there is also nothing coming out. keith@keith-linux:~$ lsmod | grep ca0132 snd_hda_codec_ca0132 57344 1 snd_hda_codec 143360 4 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_controller,snd_hda_codec_ca0132 snd 90112 20 snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_codec_ca0132 So it looks like the codec is properly selected. keith@keith-linux:~$ dmesg | grep ca0132 [ 8.692299] ca0132 DOWNLOAD OK :-) DSP IS RUNNING. DSP looks good. keith@keith-linux:~$ dmesg | grep hda [ 8.000135] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 8.000249] snd_hda_intel 0000:03:00.1: Disabling MSI [ 8.000264] snd_hda_intel 0000:03:00.1: Handle VGA-switcheroo audio client [ 8.040884] sound hdaudioC0D0: autoconfig: line_outs=1 (0xb/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0) type:line [ 8.040886] sound hdaudioC0D0: speaker_outs=0 (0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0) [ 8.040887] sound hdaudioC0D0: hp_outs=2 (0x10/0xf/0x0/0x0/0x0) [ 8.040887] sound hdaudioC0D0: mono: mono_out=0x0 [ 8.040888] sound hdaudioC0D0: dig-out=0xc/0x0 [ 8.040889] sound hdaudioC0D0: inputs: [ 8.040890] sound hdaudioC0D0: Mic=0x12 [ 8.040891] sound hdaudioC0D0: Line=0x11 And here's where things start getting confused. My system gives me 2 jacks on the front - Mic and headphones, and 5 jacks in the rear for Front/Center/Rear speakers as well as optical and analog S/PDIF . This doesn't seem to correspond with the hdaudioC0D0 data. Shouldn't speaker_outs be > 0, hp_outs < 2, line_outs == 0, and no entry at all for Line? From looking at the diff for patch_ca0132.c, it doesn't look like that fix matches these symptoms. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1492430 Title: [Alienware Area-51 R2, Creative CA0132, Green Line Out, Rear] No sound at all Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 15.04 Release: 15.04 This is a 5.1 surround sound set up.
