>Description:
For a few months I was unable to use my laptop with external headphones.
Today I tried ALSA under Knoppix, and saw interesting switch in alsamixer named front duplication or something, which made my headphones output sound.
Then I downloaded ALC655 spec and found, that by default surround out is enabled in bit 0 of 0x6a reg, so the signal only does to front speakers, and headphones apparently aren't front speakers. :) In the sheet it's called:
S-OUT is duplicated output of LINE-OUT.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD on Amilo Pro V2055, start xmms and connect headphones, or start mplayer in full screen (after patching the OpenChrome driver like I did), and connect your laptop to a sound system, and try to hear something. :)
