Background: The alternatives profile sets ``/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/force-speaker.conf`` and ``…/force-speaker-and-int-mic.conf`` load rule sets that mute the internal speaker instead of turning it off. They can be used instead of the earlier proposed additional rule set. For users that don't want to wait for the fix in the package, there is a quick workaround: Create a new file ``91-pulseaudio.rules`` (following example https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Backends/ALSA/Profiles/) with the content: SUBSYSTEM!="sound", GOTO="pulseaudio_end" ACTION!="change", GOTO="pulseaudio_end" KERNEL!="card*", GOTO="pulseaudio_end" # Asus EeePC R11CX ATTRS{subsystem_vendor}=="0x1043", ATTRS{subsystem_device}=="0x8516", ENV{PULSE_PROFILE_SET}="force-speaker.conf" # Asus EeePC R011PX ATTRS{subsystem_vendor}=="0x1043", ATTRS{subsystem_device}=="0x8437", ENV{PULSE_PROFILE_SET}="force-speaker.conf" LABEL="pulseaudio_end" Günter
