I have a fresh installation of debian testing (lenny) on a Sony
Viao VGN-FZ31Z. Alsa has installed correctly but has left me with two problems. 1) The laptop speakers work fine but when i plug headphones into the laptop sound continues to come from the onboard speakers and not the headphones. Strangely enough the microphone jack does work (with problems). I have a dual boot system and the hardware works fine with my other OS. 2) The quality of the microphone is pretty bad. When using the microphone jack I can hear a lot of hiss any only just hear my voice in the background. When using the onboad microphone i only get hiss. Any ideas how can i go about debugging and resolving these problems? Here is my system information... My kernel is 2.6.24-1-686 I have debian packages installed for alsa-base and alsa-utils, both in version 1.0.16-1 The audio controller (output from lspci -v) is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Sony Corporation Vaio VGN-FZ260E Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22 Memory at fc400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel The output from amixer is: Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 127 Mono: Front Left: Playback 108 [85%] [-14.25dB] [on] Front Right: Playback 108 [85%] [-14.25dB] [on] Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 Capabilities: pvolume Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 255 Mono: Front Left: Playback 185 [73%] [-14.00dB] Front Right: Playback 185 [73%] [-14.00dB] Simple mixer control 'Digital',0 Capabilities: cvolume Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 120 Front Left: Capture 71 [59%] [5.50dB] Front Right: Capture 71 [59%] [5.50dB] All help greatly appreciated. |
