Lenovo N100 with Intel Sound Card (Speakers Issue)

Hello.
I was trying to deal with it but no luck on finding any info. The issue is that then I plug external speakers the laptop ones don't mute.

Notebook: Lenovo N100
SoundCard: Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
Kernel: 2.6.17-beyond (from official package)
Alsa: 1.0.3 (official package)

Any one had a similar issue with more or less similar hardware?

Peace.

I once used an old extion sound cable that had a funny shaped jack and wouldn't make the right connection, I could hear sound through the headphones and speakers at the same time. I had to cut away some of the plastic to get it to connect right and mute the speakers...  Probably not your problem...

Do headphone work right?

Hi,
I have very similar problem, my speakers are working, but if I want plug headphones into jack plug-in is nothing happen, speakers are still playing and I couldnt hear anything in headphones.

Laptop: HP Pavilion dv2058ea

[root@mariusz ~]# lspci |grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

[root@mariusz ~]# uname -a
Linux mariusz 2.6.19-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 12 12:47:42 CET 2006 i686 Genuine Intel(R) CPU           T2300  @ 1.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
[root@mariusz ~]#

System after "pacman -Suy".

P.S Sorry for my english, i cant write very well.

EDIT

It was simple problem. I had to recompile kernel without ALSA and install the newest alsa-drivers 1.0.14rc1. Now is working. I hope that this will add to Arch, because this what I've done is unusual and temporary.
