So I fresh installed 13.10 and it seems fine enough as far as the lastest ubuntu goes, except my headset doesn't work (it plugs into headphone and mircophone). While on my machine the microphone portion never worked regardless of OS the headphones part does. In 13.10 however, nothing works. I tried disabling automute, looked for "switching automute to line out" as mentioned in another question (F6 for me is where you select a sound card, but line out doesn't exist for me just default, HDA Intel, and enter device name...). I have no idea at this point how to get it working. (Sighs always something with a release).

@CL here ya go (Wasn't sure how to put it in comments properly especially sense it exceeds char limit. Also note headphones are plugged in at read out.

  • Run alsamixer in terminal, and check whether the options under the any vertical bars are not MM. If you get any MM under any vertical bars just change it to unmute by press M key. Reply.. – Saurav Kumar Oct 30 '13 at 0:50
  • Please show the output of amixer scontents. – CL. Oct 30 '13 at 7:28
  • @SauravKumar; Only speaker gets muted when headset (headphones part) is plugged in, and unmutes when headset is unplugged so the system is clearly seeing it. – Brandon Kline Oct 30 '13 at 19:14
