If you go into alsamixer and turn 'Independent HP' on, does it help?

Hi Dave,

I downloaded and installed GNOME Alsa mixer and turned on the Independent HP option but no joy I'm afraid.

Any ideas?

Kindest regards

This is probably the VIA codec headphone automute bug that was fixed in ALSA 1.0.25. So try a newer ALSA module: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/alsa-daily/+packages

Hi Dave,

Thanks so much for your time. I have had a look at the link and there is a list of different packages but I don't know which one I need or how to install them.

Sorry I am so new to linux and as you ca imagine quite lost right now, been a windows user way too long lol.

Please can you advise what steps I need to take, thanks again.

Kind regards
Alan

Hi Dave,

Have been looking at the list of different modules and I'm at a loss, I dont know which one is right or how to install please could you point me in the right direction?

Sorry I'm very new to this.

Kind regards

Use these commands:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dkms-hda

Hi Dave,

Again thanks so much for your time.

It all went well till the last command "sudo apt-get install dkms-hda" It returned the following error:

E: Unable to locate package dkms-hda

Not sure what's going wrong.

Kind regards
Alan

Sorry, last command should have been:

sudo apt-get install alsa-hda-dkms

Hi Dave,

You're awesome well done and thank you :) all better now.

Kind regards
Alan
