Some issues on my notebook(headphone.....)
 

Hi,all
I have recently installed Slackware 12 in my new notebook,and
have some issues .

1, some function keys not works
for example,I use Fn + F5 to increase the volume and Fn + F7 to
increase the light of LED in Windows,but these keys not work in
Slackware 12.
How can I make these keys work?

2, speaker and headphone-microphone work simultaneously.
In Windows,the speaker dont sound when the headphone plug in.
But in Slackware,when I insert the headphone into the notebook,
both the speaker and the headphone make sound.
How can I make the speaker not sound when I insert the headphone?

Thanks a bunch!
And sorry for my bad English...

What kind of notebook do you have? That info is necessary to provide appropriate and accurate suggestions. This is also necessary to fix the sound issue.

For the headphone problem, look in alsamixer. There should be a setting called "Headphone Jack Sense" or similar. Make sure this is on.

For the key problem, perhaps you need a different keyboard map. Which desktop do you use?

It sounds like a laptop, because I have Fn keys on my laptop too. It is a $ony laptop, so the only way to make the Fn keys work is with the 'sonypi' module.

Hi,
It's a laptop,Hasee Q213S,
Where is 'Headphone Jack Sense' or similar ?

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

Umm, as I said, alsamixer.

Headphone's max and pcm 0,both speaker and headphone are not sound,
increase pcm ,then both speaker and headphone make sound
In Windows when insert headphone into the laptop , speaker not sound and headphone sound..

Could the ALC883 bug reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/114053
relate to your problem?

I had problems with my Slackware 11 installation and that Card.

I had to download, compile and install the "new" ALSA driver (i think it was the 1.0.14rc3 at that time) and Alsa-lib! That worked like a charm!
I compiled the Driver with the options:

./configure --with-oss=yes --with-cards=hda-intel
make
make install

but now with a fresh install of slackware 12.0 i have no problems or whatsoever with my Sound Card... thats weird :P
