Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?
I was happy to see that after installing the latest Debian Jessie on my Macbook
5,2 Intel Core 2 Duo [2 GHz] (Early 2009) my onboard speakers worked out of the
box. But when I plugged in my headphones, that normally work great under Mac OS
and Windows on the same machine, I noticed that I could not get any sound out
of them.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I checked all mute options and searched for a solution for a whole week - today
I've found this solution and would like to share it with the community.
I plugged in my headphones -> expected to be able to hear audio.

* What was the outcome of this action?
I did not hear anything, even after checking all alsamixer, gnome-alsamixer and
pulseaudio settings.

* What outcome did you expect instead?
I would have expected to be able to use my headphones to listen to music,
videos etc.


Thank you for keeping this amazing opensource project alive!

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
