All analog IO are input and output capable, and headphone amplifiers are also integrated at each analog output. codecs/stac9227-intel-d946gzis-mobo: Pincap 0x0000173f: IN OUT HP Detect Trigger ImpSense There are a fews codecs in hda-emu/codecs with Pin cap : Trigger and ImpSense For the alsa driver , there are specific controls for these kind of multi function jacks which allow user to switch the function of the jack "Headphone Mic Jack Mode" headphone and mic "Headphone Jack Mode" headphone and line out "Line Out Jack Mode" line out and headphone "Mic Jack Mode" - mic and Line in "Channel Mode" - input jacks/headphone jacks and surround output jacks e.g. your Gigabyte H87N wifi need retasking of one input jack to support 7.1 > And in fact - if the "speaker/headphone" decision is based on the > resistance of the plugged-in thing, are you sure that all amplified > speakers have resistance drastically different from both headphones > and microphones?
