I'm still unable to get sound to my headphone jack on my IBM ThinkPad T61 after a recent update to 13.10. When I plug the headphones into the jack, there is sound for about 1 second and then it cuts out. The laptop speakers work fine. I've tried editing analog-output.conf and analog-output-headphones.conf but haven't been successful. I've also uninstalled/reinstalled pulseaudio and have tried using alsamixer.
What am I doing wrong? I'm pulling my hair out!

Type alsamixer into your terminal. Then scroll with your directional keys to the right until the tab "auto-mut" is highlighted red. If your problem is anything like mine, it will be "Enabled." Hit the up directional arrow to change the status to "Disabled." That did the trick for me.
