[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#722190: Only channel left is heard when headphones are used

[Alexis PM]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.25+3~deb7u1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: xiuxiuliu at coincidance.net


In Wheezy with KDE (all packages are updated and all are official Debian packages), when I use headphones (minijack output), only 1 channel (channel left) is heard, but the 2 channels are heard if I disconnect the headphones and use the speakers. 

This soundcard works fine in Squeeze (in other partition of the computer).

Audio packages installed: alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-tools alsa-tools-gui alsa-utils alsamixergui libpulse0 libpulse-mainloop-glib0 (all in Wheezy versions) (pulseaudio is not installed)

In alsamixergui all channels are to maximum.

# lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

# alsactl init
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "SigmaTel STAC9221 A1" "HDA:83847680,106b0a00,00103401" "0x8384" "0x7680"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method

If I do "speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2" I hear the two channels alternately when I use spakers, but when I use headphones I hear only silence when is testing the the right channel

$ speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2
