Hi, i'm gathering the hardware information for workarounds of the "headphone / master swap" problem. on some onboard sound chips and notebooks, the "headphone" volume is used as "master" volume. if you have such a device, please let me know the following: 1. the name of the device (mobo, notebook) 2. whether "master" is connected to any jack? 3. output of "lspci -xv" (of the multimedia entry only) 4. output of "lspci -nv" (of the multimedia entry only) 5. ac97 codec name (found in /proc/asound/card0/ac97#0) thanks in advance, -- Takashi Iwai <tiwai(a)suse.de> SuSE Linux AG - www.suse.de ALSA Developer ALSA Project - www.alsa-project.org
