Hello, I have a N82J ASUS Laptop and I installed openSUSE 11.4 but I had some problems with the sound. At the beginning the sound didn’t work. After some study I could make it work but still the mic didn’t. After trying I could make the sound and the mic work, but the headphones are not working. I need some help.
I think that the volume slider is not the problem. The problem is the following: The speakers work but when I plug the headphones nothing happens, it’s like if the headphones weren’t on the machine, ie, the speakers don’t shut and you don’t listen anything on the headphones… any idea?
May be, I have another problem. I have access to the master volume slider, BUT I don’t see any Headphone Jack Sense" or “Line Jack Sense” mixer switch…
I note a 64-bit openSUSE-11.4 with the 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop kernel on an ASUSTeK Computer Inc. N82JQ PC with the Realtek ALC269VB hardware audio codec with the alsa version 1.0.23 (Driver), 1.0.24.1 (library) and 1.0.24.2 (utilities).
I also note you applied the model option ‘lifebook’. Why is it you believe that is the model option that should be applied ? I note in the alsa documentation for the ALC269 the following model option list:
ALC269
======
basic Basic preset
quanta Quanta FL1
laptop-amic Laptops with analog-mic input
laptop-dmic Laptops with digital-mic input
fujitsu FSC Amilo
lifebook Fujitsu Lifebook S6420
auto auto-config reading BIOS (default)
Did you try each of those one at a time ? … and restart alsa and test when trying each ?
If changing the model option does not help, you could try updating alsa to the latest cutting edge version, carefully following this guide: SDB:Alsa-update - openSUSE
PROBLEM SOLVED: yes! that’s the answer. At the beginning I solved the problem of the mic and the speaker by choosing the “lifebook” mode… few minutes ago I tried with “auto” and it worked!
