Headphones are plugged in and sound still comes out of Speakers

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Sound comes out of my speakers even when headphones are plugged in

I have an Asus K60IJ laptop, I am new to linux and was forced to come to linux when my windows os crashed on me and the reinstall disks would not work, Every time I plug in my headphones I have sound coming from my speakers as well, I messed with sound settings under output I see Analog Output and Analog Headphones seems no matter what one I pick sound comes from both.

I also installed Gnome-Alsa Mixer and Alsamixergui and Pulse audio control as well as Pulse audio mixer and pulse audio volume control, I have messed with all of them and none of them will fix the issue or give me a run around on manipulating the sound card.

I am running Ubuntu 11.10x32

Please can someone help me? I ask in irc but everyone ignores me for some reason and if they do help they are not successful.

Thank you in Advance.

According to this you can check a button called "Headphone jack sense" in gnome-alsamixer that should fix the problem. The same can be done through alsamixer by going over to "Headphone" and hitting the 'M' key.

Also have a look at this bug report. The OP says he solved it from a link on the report.

The bug report tells one way to do it, but the easier way is through the actual PPA:

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

Reading package lists... Done Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package dkms-hda – Dwade0990 Feb 13 '12 at 13:25
all of them but the last one did not go, said unable to locate the package – Dwade0990 Feb 13 '12 at 13:27
Sorry about that, looks like the package name was a bit off: sudo apt-get install alsa-hda-dkms – Chuck R Feb 13 '12 at 13:35
I used to know how to restart ALSA on-the-fly, but looks like they've changed it since the last time I had issues. Once you're done installing do a restart and hopefully it'll work! Well, since it loads kernel modules you'll have to restart anyway. I do hope this works for you. – Chuck R Feb 13 '12 at 13:39
ok done, now what do i do? – Dwade0990 Feb 13 '12 at 13:39
will reboot now and let you know, thank you for all your help – Dwade0990 Feb 13 '12 at 13:39
Unfortunately I still get the "E: Unable to locate package alsa-hda-dkms". any help? – DbxD Nov 28 '13 at 06:00
Looks like the package was renamed to dkms-hda – Chuck R Nov 29 '13 at 08:04
