Headphone detection on Asus laptop [SOLVED]

[ellipse55]

Hi all

when I plug in headphones in my new Asus laptop (Intel 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio), the on-board speakers are not muted. I've looked in the archives but haven't found a solution.

I'm double-booting with LMDE 64-bit / Windows 7. The speakers get muted when I'm in Windows, so it's not a hardware problem.

Any way to get Mint to detect that headphones have been plugged in? In an earlier posts, somebody said that they ticked a box in Gnome ALSA Mixer to have the headphones detected, but I don't see that setting in my version of the program (0.9.7).

Any help much appreciated,
Pierre.

Hi all,

problem solved by the fact that I have received the latest version of the kernel (2.6.38-2).

Best,
Pierre.
