Further notes: * When switching back to the 'Analog Speakers' port sound works on the headphones and speakers are muted. * I have a second headphone socket which is marked as an S/PDIF output and works on the PCM channel at `alsamixer` * Setting Auto-Mute Mode in `alsamixer` to 'Disabled' prevents the automatic switching (step 2) and lets sound play on both the speakers and headphones. * When setting Auto-Mute Mode in `alsamixer` to 'Disabled' to have both speakers and headphones output audio, the 'Headphone' and 'Speaker' channels control both speaker and headphone volume and assumes the volume level of whichever channel was changed last. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
