Hello list, I am not sure where to post this so here goes. I just purchased an HP DV9208NR laptop, I installed opensuse 10.2 and all worked well except the headphones. All of the buttons on the machine worked, including the mute button. However, when I plugged in my headphones the speakers would not mute and no sound came from the headphones. In an attempt to fix this, I searched the lists and found another users experiences and noticed the following snippet. Also some know issues : When headphones are plugged , laptop speakers dont mute. ============New Patch Released 01/30/2007 T.Davis Alsa-Users List ========== !!Backup your current drivers with following command !! tar -zcvf original-drivers.tgz /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/sound Now, get the latest release, apply the patch, and build. wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc2.tar.bz2 tar -jxf alsa-driver-1.0.14rc2.tar.bz2 cd alsa-driver-1.0.14rc2/alsa-kernel patch -p1 cd .. ./configure --with-debug=detect --with-cards=hda-intel make ; make install I downloaded the current 1.0.14rc2 and went through the motions of configuring, making and make installing. I removed the modules from my original install and then modprobed the snd_hda_intel and now when I plug in the headphones they work correctly, that is the speakers stop and the headphones start. Now the problem, the mute button above the keyboard that used to stay blue, and would mute the sound to the speakers, now has changed to orange and will not mute any sound. I am willing to help the developers debug this if any wish to contact me and tell me what they need me to do. It wouldn't be the first time I trashed a system and then put it back together.
