Hi Clemens, Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it did not work. Disabling Headphone Jack Sense resulted in playback into both the headphone and the computer speakers. If I enable Headphone Jack Sense then it cuts off the computer speakers when the headphones are plugged in. It did not make any difference to the recording. arecord still does not work.
