Have you tried https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=144742#c32
Being a less experienced Linux user, it took me a bit to "understand" the proposed workaround in the Bugzilla. Once I understood what is required, it WORKED on a IBM T42 Thinkpad. (My confusion was think that the "Gnome GUI Alsamixer" was the "thing"; however, it doesn't have the new features.)
Procedure:
- Open a command window
- Type
alsamixer
- Use the right arrow to make the "highlighted selection" (
red text under the "bar display" be the "Headphone Jack Sense"
(these things are somewhat truncated under the bar displays, so
that the "headphone" and "headphone jack sense" bars may read
almost the same; however, the "Item" in the upper right corner
of the command window spells it out.
- At the top of the bar may appear (or not) "MM"; typing an "m"
toggles the "MM" on and off. (Confusingly, "MM" equates to "off"
and "not MM" equates to "on"; MAKE SURE THE MM APPEARS at the
top of the "headphone jack sense" bar
- Do the same thing to "line jack sense", found by pressing
the right arrow sufficient times; there are more bars than
fit in a normal window so it might not appear initially;
the additional bars scroll into the window as you move right
With the "MM" appearing at the top of both the "headphone jack
sense" and the "line jack sense" (meaning I presume that the
features are "off" or "disabled", my sound works.
