Hi everybody.

After installing the new version of Ubuntu, Jaunty or 9.04, the secondary jack for headphones stop working. The solution is quit simple.

  1. Open a terminal Application --> Accessories --> Terminal
  2. Type alsamixer
  3. Using the left and right arrows move through Master, PCM, Sound and Surround giving them volume (in case they don't have) with the up arrow.
  4. If any of them got the letters MM written in the lower part, then change it by pressing the m key.

That's what I did and worked.

Enjoy!
