Mark, I think this problem is on your end possibly. I got the following message just okay.

Chuanwen: Personally I have never encountered a situation where on a laptop the volume control etc. is different between the attached speakers and headphones. I've always assumed (someone correct me if I am wrong) that the switching between headphones and the attached speakers is hardware and not software. If that is the case then you might have a hardware issue. On the other hand, I am not sure how to read your alsamixer output. Perhaps post output from 'amixer'? W -- "Rome wasn't burned in a day.
