Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
alsa-utils:
Installed: 1.0.20-2ubuntu6
Candidate: 1.0.20-2ubuntu6

In previous versions of Ubuntu I could manually disable my front
headphone jack. Allowing me to leave speakers and headphones plugged in
at all times and select which I wanted to use on the fly. This was
accomplished by opening the old Volume Control applet and going to the
Switches tab where I could de-select Headphones. With the new highly
pulse audio integrate Volume Control app in Karmic this is no longer an
option. I attempted to get around this by installing the gnome-
alsamixer package. This provided me with the Headphone switch again but
unlike Jaunty the switch now just disables all my audio, every speaker
plus headphones. This is on an ALC888 using the 6stash-dig option in my
alsa-base.conf. This is the option I used in Jaunty to get my 5.1
system working, plus headphones, and the ability to manually turn them
off and on. I don't know what has change in the driver to link the
headphone switch to all speakers. I even copied in my old alsa-
base.conf that dpkg backed up during my dist-upgrade.
