Hi guys Firstly, I have posted this issue @ Redhat's Bugzilla and at Fedora forum to no avail. When I posted this, I was running Fedora 13, and now I am running Fedora 14: I am running Acer Veriton S661 with Intel's built-in 7.1 surround sound (Realtek ALC1200). When external 5.1 speakers are plugged to it, the sound is still coming out of the internal speaker, as well as the external speakers. The sound coming from the external speakers are correct (sound test shows that the sound is coming out from the right speaker channels). Plugging a headphone into the front headphone jack mutes the internal speakers. This seems to happen in all applications (vlc, flash, mplayer, and rhythmbox are the ones I have tried) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulseaudio-0.9.21-6.fc13.x86_64 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.22-1.fc13.x86_64 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.22-1.fc13.i686 Have tried switching the Output connector via System --> Preferences --> Sound --> Output, the Connector is set to Analog Output, not Analog Speakers and it is still happening. I dual-boot Windows 7, and it doesn't happen with Windows 7. Any suggestions? -- Registered Linux user no. 384430
