[SOLVED] How to disable built-in speaker when I use the jack port ?

Hi,
I own an Asus X52F-SX053V laptop which has built-in Altec Lancing speaker.
Here is my problem: When I plug my external speaker, or my headphones in the Jack port; I hear the sound through the device plugged in, AND through the built-in speaker.

I'd like to disable the built-in speaker when I'm using an external speaker/headphones.

I currently don't know how to do that, I guess it is possible
I can copy the output of all the commands needed.

Thanks

Have you checked your alsamixer settings? It's called 'Headphone Jack Sense' on my computer.

I have nothing like that.

This is my amixer:

In alsamixer, I have only a master chan unmuted, and two S/PDIF

I suggest posting code listings rather than blurry photos of your screen :-)

Yes sorry about that, I'm running Arch in Live CD actually :S But it does not change anything about my problem

[SOLVED] When I plug something in the jack port, built-in speakers are automatically disabled.

Here is the trick:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Add the following line:
options snd-hda-intel model=hp-laptop

Restart Alsa, or reboot your computer
Have Fun !

Note: I guess it should work with other Asus computer (A52F, X52F series) and even maybe with other computers which use the following chipset: Intel IbexPeak HDMI
