Jack sense still is not working on the hardware that I originally reported the problem with, in the Gutsy Gibbon distribution.

I think that there is some capability missing in the ALSA driver to sense all of the ports that my system has. The switchover on this hardware is definitely a "soft" switch, because when the system is booted up in Vista, there is lag between the time that I plug the headphones in and the time that the main speakers become muted and the headphone port gets sound.

When running under Gutsy, sound just goes to all ports, all the time.

I wonder; if I were able to identify the chips in use for the sound system on this motherboard, would that help for the driver to be improved to handle it? The only that that I know /for sure/ is that it's the chipset that is in the HP Pavilion Slimline s7700n PC. I am attaching the output of lshal. Maybe that will have enough information, but if it doesn't, and more information is still needed, I am open to attempting to provide what I can.
