Problems with Sony Vaio VGN-FZ15 (STAC9872AK)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi there,

I hope somebody can help me with this:

My new Laptop (Sony Vaio VGN-FZ15, with HDA Intel, STAC9872AK Codec) has 
built-in speakers, a headphone and a microphone jack. Additionally it has a 
built-in microphone. There is also a HDMI port which also can transmit sound 
digitally, I guess.

Right now my main concern is just having simple sound output from the 
headphone jack, I didn't try if the microphones or the HDMI stuff works.

For my experiments I used ALSA from the mercurial versioning system, checked 
out and built today. If I load the module without any options, I get sound 
from the built-in speakers and can changed the volume or mute it through 
alsamixer (channels Master and PCM), which is fine. BUT when I plug in 
headphones, I don't hear anything at any volume setting - just built-in 
speakers. The built-in speakers also don't get muted as one would expect, 
when something is plugged into the headphones jack. In short: The headphones 
jack is unusable.

After some hours of research, I found the possibility to specify options to 
the module, and I tried "model=vaio". This makes the situation better: I can 
now hear something through the headphones jack, but the volume appears to be 
quite low. BUT: The fact that the internal speaker's don't get muted make it 
unusable again, because there is no way to mute only internal speakers 
through alsamixer :(

Is there any way this can be quickly solved? Please, I need music ;)

I saw during my research, that people who had similar trouble were asked to 
supply the following information:
