I've run hda-jack-retask and got the Internal Speakers, Headphone, and Microphone working. I cannot teste the port replicator as of yet, but will test it later when I retrieve it from storage.
The headphone jack is not its own output and the laptop auto-switches internal speakers to headphone upon pluggin them in. The microphone port does not have plug in detection as far as I can tell. The A/V Out port on the back of the laptop is always on when set to internal speakers but it does have its own output which I was able to configure. Since this A/V Out port is a 4 conductor 3.5mm, I don't know if it is compatible with a standard 3.5mm stereo output which is all I have to test. As a result I can only confirm that the left channel is working. I've attached my new alsa-info after applying the changes from hda-jack- retask to startup. In what kernel version was that commit you posted applied to? Before submitting this bug I tested kernel 3.17.6 and still had the same issue. I can test a newer kernel to be sure the commit fixes the problem on the VGN-A690. ** Attachment added: "alsa-info.txt.Xe9xiLj3L5" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1400186/+attachment/4276710/+files/alsa-info.txt.Xe9xiLj3L5 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400186 Title: [VGN-A690, Realtek ALC260] No sound at all internal speakers and headphone (Green out) Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have tried using different options in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa- base.conf.
