sound output only via laptop spaekers -- lineout not working

baikonur · 08-29-2006, 01:54 PM

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.
