sound on both jacks (front and rear)

When i was using mint 11, while my headphones where constantly plugged into the front panel's jack, i could hear from my speakers connected on the rear jack.

With mint 14, if i have the front panel's jack plugged in, no sound comes from the rear jack. Like it is auto muted when i plug the front jack.

how can i set it up as it was to mint 11?

open terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer


than, open gnome-alsamixer, first unmute front speaker and uncheck auto-mute

if gnome-alsamixer not working, try the basic:

Code: Select all

alsamixer
use the arrow keys to navigate right to auto mute, and disable with the "down" or "up" key.
"Esc" key to quit alsamixer
