I have a problem with sound on my laptop, that commenced with my upgrade
to Ubuntu Edgy - any hints on how to troubleshoot it?
The problem is that when I plug in headphones, the sound keeps playing
out the laptop speakers, thus annoying other people who have to listen
to my atrocious taste in music :-)
Try removing the pcspkr kernel module. Check if it's there using
lsmod. I had the same problem but when I remove it, the sound no
longer leaks from the speakers when I have my headphones in. I use
'rmmod pcspkr' to do this. However, when I inserted it in again using
modprobe and then removed it again, the sound problem did not go away.
So there is more going on here perhaps.
I nice side effect of removing this module is that you will also
remove the heart-attack-inducing console beep problem as well.
