Ubuntu Headphone Jack Issue
I feel pretty good. Just took me a little while, but I was just able to get Ubuntu Linux to dualboot with my already existing installation of Vista on my laptop. The hardest thing was getting my damn headphone jack to work!! I could get sound to play from my laptop speakers, but when I plugged headphones into the jack, sound would just continue to play from the speakers. Took a little while to find the fix online, so I've posted the fix here. (assuming you have a Realtek ALC861-VD soundcard. If you have a sony vaio, replace "hp" with "vaio" in the steps below.)
Run this command to open the alsa-base config file... (replace gedit with whatever editor rocks your world)
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
...then add the following line on the end...
options snd-hda-intel model=hp
...save, close, reboot, and enjoy tunes directly into your ears.

Perhaps a bit of a late reply, but...
*** thank you !!! ***
Could find nothing on the Ubuntu forums about this... Very strange.
Finally, able to listen music at night :)

You're welcome, Agnes. I'm glad the instructions worked for you.

This solution will only work on your HP.
For a more general solution you can always check my blog http://www.punxdelirium.be .
And even that solution is not a guarantee that it will work on all computers.
It is a known and ugly bug. So hopefully it gets fixed soon without us having to do things like this :)
