Then, for each line in your amixer output, run this command: amixer -c1 cget LINE (replace LINE with the line contents in question) Alsa might not be reporting the jack status correctly. These commands should show what state the jacks have according to alsa.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
