Unfortunately this will not work with the Live CD, but if you installed the Live CD to your hard drive I am sure it will work. At least it did for me on my 1000HE. You might want to try setting the options for the snd-hda-intel module. For my EEE-1000HE I created the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and put the following lines: options snd-hda-intel model=quanta This broke my onboard microphones, but it made the sound much better. What you can try is the following: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 | grep Codec Then look on this site http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt for your model. For example, on my current Laptop the above command gives me Codec: Realtek ALC268 So on the site I scroll down to the ALC267/268 section and I see the following: 66 ALC267/268 67 ========== 68 quanta-il1 Quanta IL1 mini-notebook 69 3stack 3-stack model 70 toshiba Toshiba A205 71 acer Acer laptops 72 acer-dmic Acer laptops with digital-mic 73 acer-aspire Acer Aspire One 74 dell Dell OEM laptops (Vostro 1200) 75 zepto Zepto laptops 76 test for testing/debugging purpose, almost all controls can 77 adjusted. Appearing only when compiled with 78 $CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=y 79 auto auto-config reading BIOS (default) Since my laptop is a Toshiba, I use the toshiba model option so the line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf looks like: options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba I think for you the model will be ALC269 so you can try either of the following (replace "toshiba" from the above line with one of the options below): basic quanta eeepc-p703 eeepc-p901 fujitsu When I was doing my eee 1000HE the quanta model would give me much louder sound and the headphone sensing would still work. Just remember that you might want to reboot when making changes, I never had much success with unloading the module and then modprobing it with the proper option. Trial and error is your friend! Let me know how it goes.
