PulseAudio only works with headphones

[Mike Burns]

Not too many details for this one, sadly. Totem, etc., only output audio 
through the line-out (headphone) jack.

System > Preferences > Sound > Output only lists /dev/dsp0 .

Is there another FAQ I'm missing?


A bit of a background on this system: freshly installed 7.2-RELEASE a week 
ago, upgraded the OS to -STABLE and the ports to the latest as of Saturday.  
The computer is a Thinkpad T500.
