sound output only via laptop spaekers -- lineout not working

ASUS A6Q00V laptop
kernel 2.6.17
Gnome for handling my windows

After running alsaconf, sound works fine.
Exept sound is outputted only on the speakers of the laptop.
When I plug a cable in the LineOut jack, I get a nasty 'plugin-sound'
on my sound systems speakers, which I think is a clear sign for the jack
working, but no sound. Same thing with the headphone jack, only there
the speaker output stops when it's plugged in.

Code:

$ lsmod

I use alsamixer v1.0.8

It doesn't offer me a panel to control the output drain. (Or does it and I just don't see it?)

Can anybody point me to something I should read?

Is line out a fancy word for "headphone", or does your laptop have 2 outputs on it. Can you use the headphone port? Or does it have a line out and no headphone hookups.

I have both.

No, those are two different things. The headphone jack is a lineout, though, only with a higher output level and (obviously, see above) a slightly different routing behaviour.
