With my new install of Fedora 9 the headphone jack works but does not shut down the notebooks speakers. There is a slider control In the "Volume Control: HDA Intel (alsa mixer) but it has no effect. The front slider control controls both the main speakers and headphone output.
I"ve heard that Fujitsu Siemens sells in some corners of the world notebooks pre-installed with Linux. Has anyone else heard of this?
When I figure the sound out or someone offers a solution I will post it back to the forum.
Sincerely,
Kevin Tough
