Comment # 30 on bug 928394 from Leslie Satenstein

Hi Takashi

A summary of facts.

With the new alsa versions (dated around February 1015), headphone jack sound
stopped.  Testing with alsa-ctl monitor shows no signal being created with
headphone in/out.

alsa-info.sh appears to show same situation as well.

I checked the bios, on this cnmputer experiencing the problem and there is no
provision for audio settings. 
2 The audio is from the motherboard analog circuitry.

In checking with a different computer (Intel I3), the monitor shows in-out of
the jack.

Windows 8.1 does not recognize the sound jack either. 

Question to answer
The original suse13.2 version allows sound to the front headphone jack
The Fedora21 original release does likewise

How can we revert the alsa / pulseaudio updates to 2014 versions?  Are there
RPMs we can download that will allow headphone jack to work with future Linux
versions? 

Do we just buy extension jacks, plug to the rear speaker jack, and continue? 

Can I revert to the preceding versions of alsa and pulseaudio that originated
with suse13.2. (I have the DVD image). Is that all that has to be done, or
should I re-install SUSE13.2 and block zypper from updating the alsa and
pulseaudio?
