Hi Everyone,

Just as a disclaimer, I've been fighting with this for a couple of weeks now, looking all over the net, trying every possible thing and I've come to the conclusion that I cannot fix this by myself so I turn it to you folks as my last resort.

Here's the situation. I have a Fujitsu S7020D LAPTOP with Fedora Core 4 installed, with kernel 2.6.12-1-1398-FC4 or something like that compiled.

it has an Intel HDA:
00:1b.0 Class 0403: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)

and a Realtek ALC260 CHIPSET.

Sound works but only through the laptop speakers and not through the headphones. It is not a hardware issue for starters.

With ALSA installed with SND-HDA-INTEL (1.09b drivers, 1.09 lib, 1.09a utils), I have the following in alsamixer:
headphone, pcm, front, front mic, line, CD, mic, pc speaker, and mono.

Only headphone and pcm do anything. Muting headphones mutes the laptop speakers. I have tried combinations of muting different things to no avail. I wish this thing had settings like master volume or headphone jack sense or whatever that I could play with but no dice. I've only got what I've listed.

I have absolutely no clue what to do. I know sound works but it's a laptop. Without the headphones working, sound may as well not be working at all!

If you need any information please ask. You're my last resort before I end up just dropping money on a USB soundcard which I really shouldn't have to.



Thanks for any insights, or help in any way.

Kevin
