Audio Line out does not work on Medion MD 96630

You know that you have to use the earphone-out if you want to listen to sound on external boxes?

yes.

here are some related links, but at the moment they don't have a solution:
* Medion Akoya MD 96630 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=882025

Hello,

I think that Alsa v1.0.19 can resolve this bug : http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Changes_v1.0.18_v1.0.19#HDA_Intel_driver

    Medion MD96630 has ALC268 codec on slot#2 although it's not used
    for any purpose. This codec conflicts with the primiary codec ALC888
    on slot#0, and gives mixer errors.
    This patch adds a corresponding entry to probe_mask blacklist.

I think bug #210865 is related to this one.

With Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 5 the internal speakers work by default, but are muted. Why?

Line out doesn't work.

Hi Martin,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid.

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 312302

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
