    Hi folks,

    the hp compaq nw8000 notebook has 3 buttons on the front panel
    for sound volume and mute, that only work with a special driver
    in Windows. I could live without these buttons working under
    Linux, but what's inacceptable, is that even whether the head-
    phone/line out cable is plugged in, is apparently also detected
    only by software. Thanks hp! *sigh* So when I plug in my headphones,
    the sound still comes out of the speakers and the headphones remain
    silent. Under Windows, there's a noticeable delay between plugging
    in the phones and switching the sound over from speakers to headphone,
    so this seems to be a software function.
    Has anybody around here an idea on how i could get the headphones
    working under Linux?

    TIA,
            Thomas
