[Bug 1338016] Re: Laptop headphones stopped working after updating system

 

Aere Greenway, as per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your BIOS is available (1.08). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report. As well, you don't have to create a new
bug report.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Acer Aspire 4339] Laptop headphones stopped working after updating
  system

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I applied updates installing linux-image-3.2.0-65-generic, the
  laptop headphones (sound system) stopped working.  When I pull out the
  sound-system plug, sound works through the (pathetic) laptop speakers.
  Sound is at a reasonable level, and is not muted.

  When I reboot with the former system linux-image-3.2.0-61-generic,
  sound works through the speaker system as it always did before.

  I am using an Acer Aspire 4339, running Ubuntu (Unity) 12.04.

  I expected sound (audio) to continue working through my sound system
  after applying system updates, but it didn't.  The only way to get any
  sound is to use the laptop speakers.
