Hi, my 2.6.11 ALSA sound troubles could be fixed by switching the "Headphone Jack Sense" in alsamixer to "off". (intel8x0 card) Thanks to Takashi Iwai. See: <URL:http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0501.2/1629.html> Maybe this helps to close bug #303311? The problem (see link) seems to be fixed in the ALSA cvs tree. -- Till Hellweg <till.hellweg@web.de>
