Speaker muting in Vostro 1015 to work with kernel 2.6.33
Update 2010-10-25
Ubuntu 10.10 has a kernel that does speaker muting when the headphone plug is inserted. Tested repeatedly be me :-)
According to a discussion at Ubuntu Launchpad, the annoyance that the speakers aren't muted in Dell Vostro when you insert headphones should be gone come kernel 2.6.33. In the discussion there is also a patch for kernel 2.6.31.14 if you need something right now. It seems other laptops are also affected by this that use the same sound chip, the Conexant 5067.

It seems like Ubuntu 10.4 will be based on 2.6.32. So it would be a long wait unless somebody backports the patches for the sound. Or maybe we will just need to build our own kernels? 2.6.33rc3 is out now at kernel.org, and here is a description (that I have not tried) on how to build a kernel on Ubuntu.
Now if someone could just get the Option 505 3G modem to work on Ubuntu 9.10, I'd be a happy camper.
No, it'll be in 2.6.33. On Dec 4, 2009 5:56 AM, "foomor" wrote: Has this fix been added to kernel-2.6.32? I am arch linux user, i'd like to know which package should i wait to be updated. Thanks.
