Description Johan Ekh 2005-12-19 22:27:34 UTC
After updating my IBM ThinkPad t42p I can not get any sound at all.
I've removed "/etc/modprobe.d/sound" and "/etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-bus-pci-0000:00:1f.5" and tried to use both yast2 and 
yast to configure my sound card from scratch. My card is found but will not play a test
sound. When yast (or yast2) tries to save the settings, it hangs when trying to "start
sound card" and I have to kill the process from outside yast(2).

Here is the output from "hwinfo --sound":

Please search bugzilla for   ac97   (search in comments) - there are lots of bugreports around this. Maybe you can then mark your report as duplicate ;-)
Comment 2 Johan Ekh 2005-12-22 18:47:31 UTC
I'm afraid not. I've gone through them and as far as I can see my problem is somehow
different from the rest (not 100% sure though as I am nut capable of following all the
details).

Can I provide more information that would be helpful?

Try toggle 'External Amplifier' control. Also attach contents of /etc/asound.state file after 'alsactl store' command as root.

Comment 5 Johan Ekh 2006-01-04 11:14:14 UTC
Toggling "External Amplifier" had no effect.
Comment 6 Takashi Iwai 2006-01-05 18:20:50 UTC
Turn off both 'Line Jack Sense' and 'Headphone Jack Sense' switches.
Comment 7 Johan Ekh 2006-01-07 22:50:40 UTC
Yes! Switching off the 'Headphone Jack Sense' did it.
Pure magic? Anyway, thanx a lot!

Comment 8 Takashi Iwai 2006-01-11 16:08:50 UTC
These controls will be removed for Thinkpads in future.
