Bug Description

Having just recently bought a new Compaq Presario V3010 laptop, I've been pretty happy with AMD64 Dapper Drake ... except that my headphones don't work, at all. I've tried a great many supposed fixes from alsa-project.org, but none of them has done anything (except occasionally disabling my sound entirely).

The chipset is an Intel MCP51, detected as "HDA NVidia (Generic)" by ALSA. I know the laptop has an nForce chipset, but I'm not exactly sure which one. If any more information is necessary, I'll be glad to provide it. (From reading the Ubuntu forums, I know other people have had problems getting any sound at all from this chipset on different laptops, with headphones or without, so I guess I'm among the lucky ones... but still, getting headphone support would be nice.)

I have exactly the same problem (among others ...) in a Compaq Presario V6024EA with an NVIDIA MCP51 audio controler. I get the sound from the internal speakers, but not from the headphone output :(
