Well according to my rubbish Guiness Book of Film, it WAS The Jazz Singer. So there.
In 1923, Lee De Forest produced the first commercially distributed "De Forest Phonofilms", where the sound track was photographically recorded and printed on to the side of the strip of motion picture film, making it almost impossible for the sound and picture to go out of synchronization. President Calvin Coolidge and many of the top vaudeville acts of the day appeared in the dozens of short Phonofilms made to 1927, when the system was sold to Fox Pictures and became Movietone.

In 1925 the Western Electric company introduced a greatly improved system of electronic audio, including sensitive electronic condenser microphones and electronic amplification of sound which allowed recordings to be played back over loudspeakers at any desired volume.

The Jazz Singer came out in 1927
It was ""The Lights of New York". Considered a bore at the time. One movie that had sound in it was called "Metropolis"
though no speaking was in it. Just sounds of the city. I guess to get people ready for talking pictures.
Also Thomas Edison shorts (1914-1916) actually had talking in them also but they were only shorts.
