Description of problem: Audio playback is only via headphone socket. Very occasionally the internal speakers will work, but audio always available via the headphone socket. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sound is always available via headphones and I've only managed to get sound from the internal speakers once or twice. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Play video via xine 2. 3. Actual results: Audio available via headphones, but not normally via internal speakers Expected results: Sound should come from internal speakers when headphones not plugged in Additional info: Thinkpad T40 with clean install of Fedora 7 test 3. Then upgraded to test 4 via yum. I initially suspected that I had managed to leave the internal speakers disconnected by mistake when I had taken the laptop apart, but somehow got audio playback from the speakers a few days ago. Since then I've been trying to track down what might have changed. The audio was perfectly smooth, so not indicative of a faulty connection. When the audio did work, I was playing a WMV file via xine and not expecting audio playback. The audio did work perfectly on this occasion however. I then tried other audio playback methods (Rhythmbox, Mplayer etc) but audio only via headphones with these. Once I'd tried the other methods, the audio playback of the file stopped working under xine. This is what prompted me to think it might be a software issue. I'm trying to track down what might be going on, but require help in excluding various issues as I'm not well versed in the way audio works under Linux. I have submitted hardware information via the firstboot and am trying to locate my specific entry. I'll attach anything extra I find as soon as I find it. If this is worth tracking down, please let me know. The reverse is also true - I don't want to waste effort on a wild goose chase that doesn't matter.

Hm, I have no ide where could be the problem. Log looks sane and I don't see any problem there.
I think you should report it to ALSA project (www.alsa-project.org), they're authors of linux sound system.
No problem. Like I said - it wasn't something I planned to report initially due to my having tinkered around inside a while ago. Can't really remember if on-board speakers worked after that or not - it's not a priority of mine. Was just surprised to hear sound out of them last week. I'll report to the ALSA mob. Thanks D
okay, closing as can't fix.
