sound in both laptop speaker as well as in headphones

1.- open the gnome-volume-control
2.- then go to Edit --> Preferences
you'll see among others, one option that says something like "Headphone Jack Sense"
3.- click on the check box to enable it and close the preferences windows
4.- go to Switches tab
5.- check the box of "Headphone Jack Sense"

check if it works, if not, please provide more information about your soundcard, like the output of the command "lspci|grep audio"

hope this helps.

glad to know it works, the other issue i'dont know about unfortunately, maybe you'll want to file another question so anyone who knows can help you.

Hello

 What is the equivalent of the gnome-volume-control's Headphone Jack Sense in Kubuntu 7.10? KMix is not having any such controls.
I have the problem that though I plug in my headphones, there is no sound in the headphones and the speakers continue to function.

thanks
M

hey what i did was i just muted the volume from through the speaker icon in
the system tray like i clicked and then muted the volume and it worked fine
for me ...if you can try that

I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 on an IBM ThinkPad R52 and I can only listen to sound through BOTH the speakers and the headphones. If I mute the master as Rahul suggested, no sound is played at all. There is no checkbox that exists for 'Headphone Jack Sense', so what can I do?

hey brettalton i am not sure if you have gone through this thread ...if you have a usb headphones like me then it should solve the problem
