[1015PEM, Realtek ALC269VB, Green Headphone Out, Right] No sound at all. Sound does come out of speakers, as if headphones were not inserted.

Thanks for your bug report. I have an idea for a possible fix to this bug, however I need to prepare a package with the fix included for you to test. I will get back to you with more information as soon as I have a package ready.

Thanks again.

Confirmed also happening on Toshiba Satellite M640 with the same sound chipset. Jack audio programs pointing to the ALSA driver do not work for headphones but will for analog speakers, but only if sound out is set to speakers and headphones are unplugged. If sound out is set to analog output (which should be for speakers or for headphones), sound does not come out of speakers with headphones unplugged.

Also happening on Toshiba Satellite L655D.

I can confirm it as happening on my desktop. Soundboard is onboard VIA

Same here (ASUS X52D, ALC269VB Analog). What's weird is that I'm sure speakers were working while using the boot CD.
After installation the sound disappeared.

Sound gets right back when resuming from standby (see #4 @ bug 697498).
#779307 and #697498 might be the same bug.

Thanks for the heads up Mello. Unfortunately, resuming from standby or hibernation doesn't improve the audio problem on my Toshiba. Bug 697498 appears to be different issue.

@Logan: Me either. (Actually, in my case the rtl8192ce and rtlwifi drivers have to be reloaded sometimes to fix a wireless bug) I poked around some more and I don't have the issue with pulse audio, but I do have it with Jack (and possibly ALSA). Since the main apps I use (browser, banshee) are pulse audio friendly, it's usually OK. However, audio apps all tend to use Jack and simply just don't work with headphones.

For what it's worth, I set my local ~/.asoundrc to this:

pcm.!default {
   type pulse
}
## Not mandatory
ctl.!default {
   type pulse
}

in hopes of directing alsa apps to use the pulse audio server. Is this redundant?

@blurry: Sounds like a great solution, but it's way over my head. I don't have a clue where to put any of that code in. I also had the wireless bug you mentioned, but upgrading to 11.04 fixed it. I traded one bug for another.

@Luke Yelavich: As Leslie Neilson said in Airplane, "Good luck. We're all counting on you."

@Logan: create a new file in your home folder and save it as ".asoundrc", then paste the stuff above into it. Save the file, and restart (or logout/login should probably also work). Test to see if sound works any differently in any program you may have had an issue with. Also, if applicable as it is in my case, if pulse works but other things like alsa do not, you can use the pulse audio wrapper (padsp) if the affected program can use OSS. This is EXTREMELY useful with Wine. more info here: http://linux.die.net/man/1/padsp

Has anyone solved that?
I have 1015PEM too, and the same problem...
I tried to fix thast all day and nothing. I tried this script and also nothing...

But, on other instance of linux (on Debian) i had the same issue, but it solved automatically (after login to windows), but now it hasn't worked... I don't have any idea left.

Grrr... Thought that I was in the clear but I have the same problem with ReNoise using the ALSA driver. Somehow PulseAudio is more immune to this. Any leads on this folks?

Same thing under by Asus X23F notebook. It's using the same device:
aplay -l

I get sound from the internal speaker, but no sound from headphones and both internal and external mic won't work. Tried installing driver from Realtek but no go. The list of supporting driver from Realtek indicates ALC269 but doesn't seem to support ALC269VB.

I believe I got a similar issue. Sound plays fine through the speakers, but when I plug in my headphones they do not work and the speakers stop playing sound too.

Updating to Oneric does not solve the problem. (As expected, but perhaps worth pointing out nevertheless.)

Had the same problem as Kay A.Serenade (wind-summoner) with the external and internal mic on a Realtek ALC269 on a Asus 1015PEM using Lucid. Fixed the external mic problem by writing

options snd-hda-intel model=basic

to the end of

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Don't know if it works for the headphone's jack problem though, as I never had it, but it's probably worth a try.

Updating to Precise does not solve the problem.

Plug in a headphone switches speakers off but no sound from headphones. As soon as headphones are plugged in, the slide control for 'Speakers' in Alsamixer drops down to zero. (The 'Headphones' control in Alsamixer has no effect and cannot be used.) Raising the Speakers controll will give sound to headphones.
