Hmm. Maybe this is a problem with your card or the kernel. Please try the following command: pasuspender -- speaker-test -D $cardname -c 2 user@lachp:~$ pasuspender -- speaker-test -D front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 -c 2 user@lachp:~$ pasuspender -- speaker-test -D front:CARD=PCH -c 2 Produce audio through the speakers. Nothing through speakers/headphones. That program should alternate noise between the right and left channels. You can try it without heaphones to check that it works on the laptop speakers, and then retry it with the headphones plugged in. If this doesn't make a sound then it is either a problem with your kernel, the card, or the headphones. I can verify the speakers/headphones on other devices. I have also installed debian on another laptop from the same iso (we have 105 of this device) with the same results. That leaves the kernel and points that it's not pulseaudio's fault?

That suggests the kernel or the card itself. If alsa cannot play, then pulseaudio is not the culprit. I am reassigning to the kernel, lets see if the kernel maintainers can think of something else. I suggest attaching the alsa-info.sh output[1], as it is usually helpful.

It's OK, it is easier to check for me as well. Let's try two things: First, check if upgrading to pulseaudio 5.99 from experimental fixes anything. There may (I'm not sure) be a fix for volume paths that may be relevant for you. upgraded pulse to experimental 5.99 and reboot; the current behaviour remains doing the same tests. I downgraded back to jessie but I can keep it on experimental if you would prefer? No, it's ok. If that doesn't work, let's try playing with the hardware volume controls: run the command `alsamixer` (from the alsa-utils package), press F6 to select the device (by default alsamixer would show only the pulseaudio control), and then try moving the available sliders to see if there is one that is muted or needs to have its volume raised. In alsamixer the volume for speaker is 100 when no headphones are plugged in. When i plug headphones in the speaker is muted and headphones are unmuted at 100. It returns to speaker when unplugged which from my understanding is because auto-mute is enabled. Hmm. Maybe this is a problem with your card or the kernel. Please try the following command: pasuspender -- speaker-test -D $cardname -c 2 Where $cardname is the name of your onboard chip. You can find it using `aplay -L`. In my case, the name for the speakers and heaphone on the laptop is front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 . Yours may be the same. That program should alternate noise between the right and left channels.

I have a hunch that for some reason pa is not selecting the headphones port. It seems to pick up the event of plugging in fine. the audio changes from speakers to headphones (plugged in) automatically. Indeed it looks like it does.

I just tested a pair of usb logitech headphones which work correctly. Nothing through the 3.5mm jacks works.
