I have strange problem with sound on my Debian wheezy powered notebook. Sound is not playing through jack output, but speakers are working just OK.

A have checked if Headphone output is not muted in alsamixer too.

Is there a possibility to automatically switch to JACK when headphones is connected? It worked on Ubuntu 12.04.

Best Answer

I had the same problem with Wheezy on an eeepc. It turned out to be a configuration problem. This is how I solved it:

  1. Open alsamixer in a terminal
  2. Press F6: select sound card. I had two choices: a) default b) HDA Intel. Highlight HDA Intel and press enter
  3. More configuration options should now be available in alsamixer
  4. Press the right-arrow key until you find an option named auto-mute
  5. Enable auto-mute

Hope it helps
