Ubuntu 8.04/8.10: Headphones don’t work on Sony Vaio SZ71E
On the VAIO SZ71E/B with Ubuntu 8.04 or Ubuntu 8.10 the headphones/earphones doesn't work. If you insert your headphones into the headphones jack Ubuntu ignores them and the sound continues to play exclusively through the speakers.
To solve this bug:
- edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
# sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
- add the following line to the end of the file
options snd-hda-intel model=vaio
- reboot the Sony Vaio
This fix should work also on the following models of Sony Vaio:
- VGN-FZ21S
- VGN-FZ19VN
- VGN-FZ31
- VGN-FZ240E
- SZ61MN
- FZ11S
Please send me a comment if this fix works on other Sony Vaio models.
That's all
