[Alsa-user] missing "jack-sense" options

[Andreas D. <ma...@an...>]

Hi,

I ran into the problem, that my newly installed openSUSE 10.2 does not play=
=20
any sounds over the speakers but headphones work fine. I installed alsa via=
=20
packet-management, the installed version is  1.0.13-22. My laptop is a fair=
ly=20
new XPS M2010.

Googeling brought up some solutions, where the not-working jack-sense could=
 be=20
the problem and that it should be disabled via the KDE mixer KMix oder the=
=20
alsamixer. But both mixers are missing the jack-sense switches. All channel=
s=20
are activated in KMix, no sliders are hidden.=20

What am I missing? How can I access the switches for jack-sense and disable=
=20
jack-sense? Is this likely to be the right solution?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Greets,
Andreas
