no audio on laptop headphones

#1 Post by babcat »

On this laptop, with the V8237 [VIA 8237] audio card I cannot control headphone audio at all. They do not appear in pavucontrol or in alsamixer. I can hear a slight hiss signal but not audio from the player (I test with vlc). The headphones are tested ok, the audio from the laptop speaker distorts in the bass range but maybe it is a speaker defect. I remember this happened after the installation of openchrome drivers, but maybe other packages were installed as well. Maybe reinstalling the kernel can help? Upgrading pulseaudio and pavucontrol did not help.
