Bug Description
I have an Acer TravelMate 3260 laptop. In edgy and dapper, sound used to work out of box. On feisty, sound was muted by default. That's not a big problem, however. On my laptop, the "Surround" channel in kmix controls the laptop speakers.
However, the speakers are not automatically muted when I insert headphone in the jack. This does not work on any distro that I have tried, it works only on windows. So, what I do is when i insert the headphone jack, I manually mute the "Surround" channel. But then, once muted, I cannot use the laptop shortcut keys to control the headphone volume, since kmix controls only the "Surround" channel using those keys.
Is it possible to bind the "Surround" and "Headphone" channels such that they have the same volume, but opposite in mute state ? Or any other solution ? :) I am attaching the files as directed by https:/
Thanks.
EDIT: As the last comment states, this bug has been fixed, and I've located which patches need to be merged from upstream in order to fix this bug. Please scroll down to the bottom :)
