It's apparently no longer true, at least for newish Intel HDA |
| 17 |
chipsets. Mine (SigmaTel STAC9872AK) would not switch off the internal |
| 18 |
speakers when the jack was plugged in, so sound would come from both |
| 19 |
the headphones and the speakers. A recent patch to the driver fixed |
| 20 |
this. |
