Sound issues on ThinkPad X220T (Lenovo)
Hi,
I would like to know what's the proper way to solve this. I'm on an
updated debian-testing installation (with pulseaudio installed and
working, but the problem seems to be previous, i.e., in ALSA, because
pavucontrol doesn't show the soundcard in its correspondent tab).
I can get audio from audacity and audacious as long as I choose
manually the proper soundcard in its options, but not from other
programs (e.g., firefox, mplayer, etc.), which I suppose use the
default soundcard.
Strangely, 'speaker-test -c2' doesn't produce a sound. But 'sudo
speaker-test -c2' works flawlessly. (The idea to check that came from
[1].)
I already tested (following [2]):
$ sudo alsactl init
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Conexant CX20590"
"HDA:14f1506e,17aa21db,00100003 HDA:80862805,80860101,00100000"
"0x17aa" "0x21db"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method
But nothing changed after reboot. (Though, the CX20590 is the working
choice for audacious/audacity.)
I have this info:
$ cat /proc/asound/cards

Any other info I could provide?
What should I do?
BTW, JACK also fails to work, with these messages:
