Bad sound out of headphone jack
Hi, I apologize up front. I'm brand new to anything Linux and will probably need a frustratingly large amount of help to get you all the info needed in order to help me.
The problem I'm having is with my sound. The laptop (Lenovo Ideapad Y510P) speakers work just fine, but when I plug in the headphones there is background static that does not vary in volume when I alter the volume level (it does, however, go away when I mute the sound altogether).
I fully expect you to hit me with a barrage of questions about my system, but here's what I know at the moment:
Release 12.04 64-bit
Kernel Linux 3.11.0-19-generic
GNOME 3.4.2
Processor: Intel i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40 GHz x 8
After running alsamixer from the terminal I see that I have v.1.0.25, and for sound cards it says
0 HDA Intel HDMI and
1 HDA Intel PCH
Please let me know what other info you may need (as well as how to get it, preferably) and thanks in advance.
Bill
