I have an Everex VA1500V

When I bought it, the speakers and the headphone jack worked.

I attempted to upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10 and all sorts of stuff broke including the headphone jack.

Everex told me they don't support 8.10 and that I should download the 7[whatever] version from their site and load it again.

I did. It fixed everything except the headphone jack. They've been no help since. The patch you mention above makes sense. It must not be part of their standard gOS install.

I recently updaged to Ubuntu 9.04. It did not fix my headphone jack.

1) Has anyone attempted the above recompile process with Ubuntu 9.04?

2) Please explain how installing alsaplayer-jack is supposed to help. Doesn't alsaplayer-jack only affect the behavior of alsaplayer? I want the headphone Jack to work with all my apps. How does redirecting the sound to the JACK system help me even in alsaplayer? Does JACK have specific hardware support for the VA1500V's headphone jack?
