After switching from RH to SuSE I now got the strange problem that while my loudspeakers are working ok, I cannot get the PC to switch to using the headphones. If I plug the headphones in, no sound comes out of any speaker.
I've tried fiddeling with alsamixer, but with no changes happening. Has anyone encountered this problem before and know how to solve it?
I had a similar problem - no sound from the speaker, but the headphones worked, and no amount of messing with the mixer would make it work. alsaconf, which has always worked for me in the past, failed to make any difference. In the end I removed all the alsa related material from modules.conf and replaced it with a single line .. alias sound-slot-0 trident .. now the speaker is working properly and mutes when I plug in the headphones. The mixer controls are a little odd, but it is possbile to set the required volume with a little experimentation ;-) Oh, this was with a Sony Vaio, BTW 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 02) sjb
