Also, if i select the headphone "port" in software (pavucontrol) while the external speakers are still plugged into the line-out jack (either front or back jack of my system, a Dell Precision Workstation, the problem goes away, as well. If i move the external speakers from the headphone jack back to the line-out jack, the automatic jack selection code reverts to the "No Bass" situation. (but, again, i can manually "fix" it, by selecting the headphone port in pavucontrol. I'd *expect* that to route the sound through the headphone jack, and i should hear *nothing* at that point, but that's not the case). thanks, --stephen -- Stephen Dowdy - Systems Administrator - NCAR/RAL 303.497.2869 - sdo...@ucar.edu - http://www.ral.ucar.edu/~sdowdy/
